在这部生命之歌纪录片/音乐片中,影片《生命之歌》跟随作曲家贝恩哈德·科尼西,记录他如何帮助那些70岁以上的老人从歌唱和演奏中找到新的生活与幸福。他将人物访谈中个人的梦想以及遭受过的心理创伤谱成他们各自的生命之歌。一位失明的女心理学家成为艾森交响乐团的钢琴师,一位半身瘫痪的手风琴演奏家在四重奏组合中重新焕发活力,一位在14岁初恋时就怀孕的女士得到了斯图加特“新声乐合唱组”的资助,她认为在她的生活中——“爱还能是一种罪过吗?”在合唱团中她得到了医治心理创伤的新处方。
With admiration for the beauty of the old 'wrinkled' voices, the composer Bernhard Koenig imparts to seniors the meditative, mournful, affectionate, enlightening, protesting, marvelous and joyful experience of music. In Cologne, he founded the choir of 'Old Voices' over 70. In Stuttgart Koenig conducts biographical interviews with the elderly so as to uncover their buried dreams and aspirations. 'Favorite and life songs' are the integral aspect here: songs that are anchored within the individual biography and represent a very special story or memory.
