A film by Günter Atteln

The film follows conductor Joana Mallwitz over two years as she rises to the top of the Konzerthausorchester Berlin, one of Germany’s leading classical orchestras, in August 2023. We experience her as a hardworking perfectionist, a mediator of music, and an energetic orchestra leader. Despite all her success, the enormous pressure of the conducting profession is palpable, which, like a musical crescendo, steadily increases until her inaugural concert in Berlin.
