Harmonia

Harmonia—“as grounded in the heat and dust of its backstage milieu as an Altman film, and as infatuated with classical music as Ulmer’s Carnegie Hall” (Slant)—is a music-filled contemporary take on the biblical story of Abraham, Sarah, Hagar, Ismael, and Yitzhak. Sarah is the Jerusalem Philharmonic’s harpist; Abraham, her husband, is its almighty conductor. The two are desperate to have a child, but all attempts end in despair, disrupting the already fragile balance of their marriage. Hagar, a young Arab horn player from East Jerusalem, enters the scene, and she and Sarah immediately form an unusually intimate relationship.

This film is part of the Westchester Jewish Film Festival 2017 series.
