Astrid Thompson is determined to honour her late industrialist father’s final wish: unite four priceless Stradivariusstringed instruments for the premiere recital of a new composition by his favourite artist, to be live-streamed for music lovers globally.
With just six days to rehearse, a quartet is assembled, but the dream quickly unravels: the musicians are at odds, blinded by their differences and prejudices, and seemingly incapable of working together. With the deadline fast approaching, Astrid tries to coax the reclusive composer of the score, Charlie Beaumont (Frédéric Pierrot), out from creative seclusion in the desperate hope of salvaging the event…
"Sensitive and joyful. As a skilled filmmaker who focuses on connection and sensory experience, Magne interprets this parable
delightfully. In an age when no one seems to get along, the film proclaims loud and clear that perfect harmony is above all a matter of
listening."
