In a documentary portrait, the film-obsessed composer and pianist, Aljoscha Zimmermann, reveals how his passionate work recreates the cine concert when his scores resound around the globe and audiences experience how silent films not only speak, but sing. The documentary accompanies the Russian-born artist to concert tours in Paris, Moscow and Berlin, to rehearsals and to his "piano and desk" in his atelier in Munich where the unique journey of images and new music begins.
