Synopsis

Tomas lives in a musical city where everyone has their own melody, but he dreams of a single piece that everyone will play together. When the city becomes one vast orchestra, Tomas is its sole conductor, dictating the rhythm of life for all. He dictates the music, and everyone else becomes his prisoner. This wordless dystopian fable uses the language of music to depict the urge to impose harmony from a single hand, and the individual voices silenced in the name of the whole.
