Nuance

It is a very good movie and I really like its tune and story. This is a movie on the the respect of music, musician and dedication of musician. Very balanced story knitted around music and perfect examples from Jewish Synagogue music. In the movie, there are no surprises, shocks, or unexpected scenes for whom likes movie with a "up and down stream". That's why the movie depicts its story perfectly. It creates a successful harmony between the music which becomes the bone of the story and the lives of musicians. I must confess that it is not my style of movie and music but I really liked it because it let me learn this harmony, understand the music and dedication. You can watch with your children also. Thank you to the whole crew and to the director.
