Thomas has to take over his wife's job of conducting the family orchestra. Two fateful days intertwine. Both are imperfect, unpredictable, and beautiful in their very own way. In these two days, Thomas is confronted with 3 vital things.
Acting
Lilleøre's physical comedy of incompetence gradually becomes genuinely moving.
Score
The orchestra's actual performances—wobbly, then weirdly transcendent.
Writing
Two-day structure lets grief breathe without announcing itself as grief.
Director
Alexander Bak Sagmo
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Danish amateur orchestras ('amatørorkestre') are genuine community institutions, making Thomas's intrusion both funnier and more poignant.
Annika Aakjær, who plays Esther, is primarily a musician—her casting was partly because she could actually run an orchestra.
