The Berliner Philharmoniker under Sir Simon Rattle - the epitome of German high culture - and 250 pupils from 25 nations with no experience with classical dance or serious music, performed Stravinsky’s "Le sacre du printemps" together in January 2003. In their moving and mesmerizing film, Thomas Grube and Enrique Sánchez Lansch describe the stony path from the planning to the performance in Berlin. It is the story of an "Education Sentimentale" on both sides, of love of music, passion, obstinacy, respect, and self-esteem.
