World-famous conductor Eduard Sporck (Peter Simonischek, The Interpreter, Toni Erdmann) agrees to create an Israeli-Palestinian youth orchestra for a very special concert. It’s a noble but perhaps rather naive idea, given that the young musicians have been in a state of war, under suppression, or at constant risk of terrorist attacks their entire lives. How can they put aside their fear of and hatred for the “enemy” for even just three weeks of rehearsals? Amid rising tensions, the first glimmer of hope appears when the opponents of the orchestra give the musicians a chance to show how strong they really are. Israeli and Palestinian non-actors play many of the supporting roles in this affecting film about forgiveness, humanity, and reconciliation.
