Song of the Beginning
A young composer, his confidence shattered by professional setbacks, stumbles upon a crackling recording of a children's choir. The innocent voices stir a dormant passion, compelling him to seek out the choir's elusive former conductor. His quest leads to a quiet provincial town and a resilient elderly woman gathering a motley crew of locals into a fledgling choir. As rehearsals begin, music becomes the conduit for unspoken stories and buried regrets. Through shared harmonies and dissonant lives finding common rhythm, the composer rediscovers not just his creative voice, but the profound connections that music can forge between solitary souls.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film unfolds with a gentle, patient rhythm, valuing quiet moments of realization over plot-driven crescendos. Its power lies in the subtle performances and the authentic, unpolished sound of the choir coming together, note by tentative note.
What lingers after the final chord is a sense of quiet catharsis and a renewed belief in art's power to mend fragile spirits. It’s a tender ode to second chances, found in the most unexpected of places. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Tomochika Kasaura

Sunlight in a dusty community hall, the hesitant first notes of a melody, shared glances across music stands.
