Synopsis : As a wave pays homage to music, this sequence of sounds abstract, immaterial and invisible that provokes in the brain the same reaction as chocolate, sex or drugs. Conceived as a cinematic wave, this documentary takes us from Montreal to Cremona via Sweden, Mexico and the American West Coast to meet fascinating scientists and artists who, from their diverse horizons, illustrate the essential link between rhythm, music, our planet, the brain, daily life and our collective humanity.
