Drama

In the beginning of the 19th century, Johannes Elias Alder is born in a small village in the Austrian mountains. While growing up he is considered strange by the other villagers and discovers his love of music, especially rebuilding and playing the organ at the village church. After experiencing an "acoustic wonder", his eye color changes and he can hear even the most subtle sounds.

VIBE

A stark, yet beautiful, immersion into a soul attuned to the world's hidden music. It feels like a lonely pilgrimage through snow-swept mountains, where profound beauty and deep sorrow intertwine, leaving you with a haunting, resonant echo.
