Orchestra

The merry members of a brass band from Slovenia travel by bus to perform in a small Austrian town. They sing, cheer, and drink all the way there: being part of the band is a joyful hobby for most of them. However, not everything goes as planned.

A first-time bus driver confesses his responsibility for an accident to his untrustworthy senior colleague; a player cannot hide his shameful drinking from his kind Austrian host; a teenage band member on her first tour with dad witnesses her father’s adultery; and back in Slovenia, a wife wishes she could kiss another man. Orchestra presents five distinct stories about hiding one’s actions and intentions, shot stylishly in high contrast black-and-white. 

Slovenia’s submission for the Best International Feature Film Academy Award.
