It resembles a giant, perfectly functioning body, although it is made of one hundred exceptional musicians belonging to several generations. Orchestre de Paris, under the baton of young music director Klaus Mäkelä at present, has featured in a film symphony scored for individual voices and orchestrated using dynamic editing and the energy of musical virtuosity. The filmmaker looks behind the scenes of this prestigious institution to show, up close, how beauty is created – through hard work, discipline and relationships that are not always harmonious.
