Synopsis:
A summer music camp; We follow the Horn Player, the Conductor, and the conductor's son, Franz. Their stories are woven into a triangular drama, filled with music and rapid shifts between fun and seriousness.
Franz is following the intrigues; some are nasty some are funny. A friendship with the bullied Horn Player grows slowly. Franz finds the courage to surmount his fear with the help of a French Horn that not only is seven metres long – it can conjure as well.(more)
