There are so many awkward moments almost every scene. The acting among characters sometimes also feel awkward and even embarrased, they seem to unwillingly uncontrolably freeze at times. The dialog also feel contrived and even quite rigid to go on and go along. There are no chemistry between or among the actors who involve in this movie, even they have been assigned to be family members, friends or more so, lovers.

This is a very uncomfortable movie to watch. It's about a female trying to become a orchestra symphony conductor. An orphan adopted by a kind adopting father but absolutely spineless to a heartless cold old bitchy wife. She struggles so hard to reach her dream. A great story, if the screenplay, the directing and those who cast to play the roles. But it simply failed miserably and came up shosrt. All I got from this movie is a feeling of awkwardness and impatience. A quite raw patchwork of directing and acting but matching the immature screenplay.

It is a very fascinating true story; the plot is very good and the performance of Christanne de Bruijn is excellent, it is highly recommended.
