Our take

This gentle, heartfelt story about the transformative power of singing together follows a famous conductor—played by Michael Nyqvist (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo)—on a cathartic journey back to his roots. An Oscar®-nominated tale of healing, redemption, and recognising your own worth.
