L'harmonie

Aug 9 2013 N/A 1h 0m
Documentary, Music

A small town nestling in the middle of a snowy expanse. In a crowded hall, some musicians are warming up. Cacophony. The conductor calls for silence. On a river bank at dawn, an old man is fishing alone, alert. Nearby, a band of Indians are marching to music for the carnival. A young hunter stalks her prey on the edge of a forest, while in his bedroom, a teenager struggles with his tie to the deafening sound of symphonic heavy metal rock. Between community and moments of solitude, through a series of lively Friday evening rehearsals and the interminable republican ceremonies, L'harmonie takes us to the heart of this colorful community in search of harmony.

Plot

The marching band of the small French town of Pontarlier comprises amateur musicians of all ages and from all walks of life. Pitched somewhere between a poignant account and a dreamlike soap opera, 'Harmony' takes us to the heart of this microcosm against a backdrop of down-to-earth music with orchestral arrangements and rock'n'roll.
