Pavel Cuzuioc’s film transforms into heroes people that are usually not even considered as extras: Nadezhda Sokhatskaya at the Odessa Opera, Roland Zwanziger of the Vienna State Opera, and Flavio Fornasa in La Scala in Milan. All three have been working for these world-renowned opera houses for decades. And yet, all three remain completely anonymous. Thanks to Pavel Cuzuioc, they finally take centre stage. The director follows them everywhere: to work, back to their home, to the coffee shop, to the blood donor clinic, or to the gym. Little by little, the film creates a picture of their life beyond the cloakrooms. The camera remains patiently on their trail. It lets them breathe and live. It’s a serene look at three fascinating lives, which in the end are just as exciting as the greatest operas.
