As a student, the drummer Manos Tsangaris decided on a new kind of activism: he became a composer. His stage is corner kiosks, meadows, forests, cafés, subway stations, retirement homes and opera houses. A film about the power of listening. Because when we listen, the world changes before our eyes. Manos Tsangaris was of the opinion that one could not make a film about his work when he asked Barbara Lubich in 2015: "Do you want to try?" Knowing full well that his work is an examination of our media-influenced perception, Lubich agreed. The rhythm of Manos Tsangaris' life between the worlds is the thread of the filmic narrative. We accompany him during rehearsals, see what moves him. We watch how it is not always easy for him to work with the music business, with the ensemble. Here, too, there are rules of the game, habits that need to be reflected. The framing can be made conscious. We become witnesses to an experience that re-shapes the way we see the world. And last but not least, we see and hear those images and sounds that turn on the cinema in the minds of the viewer-listener. (hechtfilm)
