Hold On

The Netherlands2016fiction22'

The protagonist of this virtuoso relative of "Whiplash" is as determined as Andrew in the famous production. A young cellist (Charlie Chan Dagelet) has worked her entire life to perform in THIS concert with THIS orchestra and THIS solo piece. And now a string breaks. Her friend takes over the melody. It is a disaster! Her stage fright is rising. The film, awarded at the festivals in Tribeca, Tacoma and CineFest – Miskolc, is gripping from the first take to the last note. Seldom do you root for a character so much.
