🎬 Movie

Iveta Apkalna climbs the spiral staircase of an ancient church. Her fingers meet the organ keys, and the space fills with the sounds of Bach. This 2025 documentary portrait follows the organist through Riga, Hamburg, and Paris as she prepares for a solo concert. The film balances between the genres of music documentary and personal chronicle, showing not only performances but also quiet moments of rehearsal, conversations with the tuner, and the search for harmony in centuries-old scores. The viewer witnesses a dialogue between the artist and an instrument decades older than her. Shots of concert halls alternate with street scenes, creating a portrait of a musician whose life is inseparable from her art.
