The film paints a portrait of Georges-Elie Octors, who was the conductor and musical director of Ictus ensemble for 25 years. The son of a famous Belgian-Congolese conductor, he had to forge his own path through his father's legacy and his commitment to contemporary music. Numerous interviews, testimonials, and dialogues with his comrades reveal a particular style of leadership, linked to listening, negotiation, and the creation of collective action. Could music offer a certain key to unlocking a “politics of friendship”?
