Aging opera singer Joachim Dallayrac retires from the stage and retreats to the countryside to school two young singers. Although the rigorous training takes its toll on both teacher and students, there is plenty of time for relationships to develop between the three.

VIBE

A deeply felt, melancholic drama about the sacrifices and passions of artistic pursuit. It explores complex relationships under the shadow of past glories, set against a backdrop of operatic grandeur and quiet countryside introspection.
