That Orchestra with the Broken Instruments

That Orchestra with the Broken Instruments

This documentary film follows an extraordinary orchestra of 100 musicians—professional and amateur, young and old—who come together in Jerusalem for four days of rehearsals ahead of a one-time concert at the Mekudeshet festival. With broken instruments, different languages, and endless challenges, they work under one conductor and three composers to find harmony against all odds. Poetic and inspiring, the film captures a city’s fractured voices striving to become one, even if only for a single night.
