Alongside his dedicated orchestra he sets out on an emotional mission to restore and perform these lost composition . Through powerful performances and poignant historical context, the documentary not only bring this hauntingly beautiful music to life for the first time in 80 year but also serves as a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of art as a form of spiritual resistance in the face of absolute despair.
