Discover the world of a unique chamber music group: Collectif9, made up of nine string musicians. This documentary immerses us in their performance, alternating between musical pieces and interviews, where the sensitivity of each artist is revealed, along with their individual personalities. Far from clichés, the film delves into the invisible bonds that connect the musicians, in their constant pursuit of balance between personal expression and collective harmony, the true essence of their art.
