Les Archers

An imposing manor, desolate amid the vast fields of a Danish island, filled with musicians. It is transformed into an intriguing beehive, vibrating with sound. This film speaks to us in the manner of a well-structured music-lesson, where repetition, practice, composing, and interpretation of music each represents central elements of a work sequence. We witness, how the insight of the masters shape the talent of their students, and how these exchanges create magical revelations. Images from inside and outside present themselves in playful dialogue in this stringent framework, and lend rhythm and pulse to the film. With the composer Per Nørgård, the Kroger string Quartet, cello teachers as Ralph Kirschbaum and Valter Despalj.
