A Song for Martin

Directed by Academy Award-winner and two time Palme d’Or winner Bille August

The famous composer Martin meets the concertmaster Barbara at one of his performances, and the two fall in love. After divorcing their spouses, Martin and Barbara marry and begin a happy life together. Five years later, as the couple is working on a new concert, Martin is diagnosed with the disease Alzheimer. As Martin’s condition worsens and his personality changes, the couple strain to hold on to the love that once brought them together.
