Instrumental Treason

This is a film about an orchestra - an orchestra of forty-five musicians on the verge of a meltdown. Their conductor, a proud authoritarian, intends - like he always has - to rule over them with a demanding baton. The music must be played perfectly - at all costs. Some fear him. Some loathe him. Some love him. Tensions are high. On this night the conductor makes the mistake of pushing his musicians too far. On this night desperation takes hold of those who oppose him, forcing them to fight against the conductor - and the faithful musicians who support him - lest they be subjected forever to his severe methods. On this night, there are those in the orchestra who find the strength to mutiny.
