“There is no more vivid expression of power than the work of a conductor” – or that of a female conductor. An orchestra rehearsal: Monica Buckland coordinates the ensemble and sets the rhythm. From practice to theory: We see hands methodically tracing “conducting patterns” in the air. We also hear her corrections, which serve as a testament to the rejection of those traditions that excluded women from leading an orchestra. A film against idleness.
