Music is the story of a father and son. Or, rather, the story of the reunion between a father and son who have hardly seen each other over many years and who clumsily attempt to renew bonds. Unfortunately, too much time has already passed and it will be impossible to strengthen the ties. But although they lose each other again, the father will nevertheless pass on a legacy to his son: the love of music.

After a relaxing stay at her grandmother’s house—where she leaves her young daughter behind—she suddenly finds herself in a rolling landscape, clad in full medieval armor. The scene then shifts to an empty theater, where Lucie—still in that same suit of armor—wakes up amidst the chaotic preparations for a production of *King Lear*.

Program of two films: Rien sauf l'été by Claude Schmitz and Le film de l'été by Emmanuel Marre. Languid bodies in the middle of a garden, highway rest areas, flowers and gas stations, bike rides, birds chirping, a nightclub, a melon, a beer, a swim... with the sweetness and melancholy of any good summer interlude. These are the movies of the summer. Two beautiful escapes to take the time to live and the time to film.
