Junkies of Dreaming (2026)

In Berlin's historic House of the Radio of the GDR, conductor Teodor Currentzis leads an orchestra through rehearsals of Mahler's monumental Third Symphony. As the musicians wrestle with the score's vast emotional and structural demands, a parallel story unfolds: a young couple in love moves through the same city spaces, their relationship echoing the symphony's journey from darkness to transcendence. The documentary observes the artistic process from both inside the rehearsal room and outside it, asking what compelled Mahler to write this boundary-breaking work 130 years ago — and what it still awakens in listeners today.
