The body is a vessel, a cage that absorbs and reflects what it witnesses. It is the clamor of consciousness, a swarm of limbs and breath, a friction, a pressing — the rustle of souls, the chant of longing where the sense of emptiness rings clear. A lucid absence, quietly inhabiting the spaces we live in, turning them into thresholds: chaotic, in-between, suspended. Absence, here, is like a wave. It comes and recedes, only to return, feeding itself endlessly.
This film portrait of organist Iveta Apkalna reveals her journey from her native Latvia to the world's greatest stages. Her name is synonymous with virtuosity and complete dedication to music.

Few operas have enjoyed such an enviable fate as Gounod's Faust. Well received at its premiere, followed by international success, which still makes it the most performed French opera in the world today, just behind Carmen. But should we take this Faust literally? Or should we see it, in the twist of the fable, as a celebration of pleasures? The audience can enjoy all the excesses, intoxicated by the music... without risking damnation. In Opéra de Lille’s production, this contradiction does not escape astute analysis of director Denis Podalydès. Podalydès and his distinguished team tackles Goethe's tragic hero, using Jules Barbier's spoken dialogues, which were part of the work when it was first performed in 1859, to bring out all its ambiguities.
French musician Étienne de la Sayette has built a distinctive musical world traversing jazz, Ethiopian music, Korean traditional music, and experimental music. In Korea, he gained attention for reinterpreting singer Bae Ho's music. Recently, he formed trio "Tako Toki," experimenting with new sounds using instruments made from industrial waste and recycled materials. He seeks to restore the senses that become music's source through repetitive labor of caring for family, animals, and gardens, aiming to practice harmonious coexistence of human and non-human beings through music.

Beethoven was a musician who overcame an incurable deafness disease and left behind many masterpieces. However, in reality, he was a vulgar and dirty old man. This film depicts the story of Schindler, the secretary who "fabricated" the sublime image of Beethoven that is conveyed to the public.
