Kim Kashkashian

The supremely world-weary Lemmy Caution, last seen in Godard's "Alphaville" (France/1965), has several strange encounters while trying to make his way from the former East Germany to "the west."

Gidon Kremer performs the complete Mozart Violin Concertos plus the Sinfonia concertante with violist Kim Kashkashian. Nikolaus Harnoncourt conducts the VIenna Philharmonic. The works were filmed in Vienna between 1983 and 1987.

On the way through a world of sounds and noise – with Manfred Eicher, the oustanding discoverer and mediator of contemporary music and founder of the music label ECM. On this journey we are meeting musicians and composers, but also people and places which are connected with him and with each other. We are encountering stories, landscapes, cities, disputes and hugs, tranquillity, hectic pace, work, self-doubt, joy, passion.
