Music is our life and salvation. This is what we thought after watching Plan B, a documentary about the new reality with Teodor Currentzis, one of the most admired music directors of our times, his
musicAeterna musicians and their friends from all over the world. And what thoughts will occur to you after watching it?
The film is directed by Sergey Nurmamed, who is the author of many brilliant documentaries, among them is the Colour of the Nation by Prokudin-Gorsky.
We wrote about Prokudin-Gorsky in our previous post.
Plan B is a slow and beautiful pondering about the challenges that we are facing and the very atmosphere of St. Petersburg in March, romantic, grey and just waking up from the sleep in the new reality, mesmerizes.
In the film, St. Petersburg-based musicians are joined by their international colleagues who had to return to their homes at the outbreak of the pandemic. They all are pondering about why this happened and what conclusions we shall made out of it, and it is interesting to listen to them in this meditative reality created in the documentary.
