The Song of Life (Das Lied des Lebens) Trailer (2013)

Trailer for the documentary The Song of Life.

With admiration for the beauty of the old 'wrinkled' voices, the composer Bernhard Koenig imparts to seniors the meditative, mournful, affectionate, enlightening, protesting, marvelous and joyful experience of music. In Cologne, he founded the choir of 'Old Voices' over 70. In Stuttgart Koenig conducts biographical interviews with the elderly so as to uncover their buried dreams and aspirations. 'Favorite and life songs' are the integral aspect here: songs that are anchored within the individual biography and represent a very special story or memory.
