어느날 한 남자가 신문에서 일자리를 구하러 공사 현장을 찾아간다. 그곳에서 그는 하워드(Howard: 델로이 린도 분)를 만나게 되고 두사람의 우정은 싹트기 시작한다. 일하는 도중 그는 갑자기 환각상태에 빠져 공중묘기를 보이는 한편 비행시도를 하려다 하워드에 의해 위험을 묘면하게 된다. 그는 병원으로 옮겨졌으나 며칠 후 이상이 없다는 결과로 다시 풀려나와 은행에 근무하고 있는 여사원을 만나 하루를 보내다 연주회에서 난동을 부린 죄로 또다시 병원으로 가게 된다. 의사인 리비 박사(Dr. Libbie Bowen: 레나 올린 분)는 그의 이름이 존스(Mr. Jones: 리차드 기어 분)라는 사실을 알게 된다. 리비는 그를 치료하며 뒷조사를 해서 과거 속의 여자에 대해 알게되는데 이 사실을 알게된 존스는 그가 믿었던 리비에 대해 분노와 배신감을 느끼게 되며 병원에서 나오고 만다. 그를 따라간 리비는 존스에게 사과를 하게되고 마침내 존스와 관계를 갖게된다. 환자와 관계를 가졌다는 사실로 직업에 위협을 느낀 리비는 그사실을 동료의 사에게 고백하는데 그는 존스를 다시는 만나지 말라고하며 존스를 다른 병원으로 옮긴다. 이에 상처를 받은 존스는 얼마후 병원에서 나와 비행시도를 하러 공사가 완성된 현장으로 간다. 한편 존스가 자살시도를 할거라는 사실을 눈치챈 하워드는 리비에게 연락을 하게되며 결국 진실한 사랑의 의미를 깨달은 리비박사는 의사직을 포기하고 존스를 찾아 나선다.

“What is this life—and this death?” Gustav Mahler famously asked when composing his second symphony. Does consciousness “continue” on a higher cosmic level, he wondered, or is it “only an empty dream?” Narrated by renowned baritone Thomas Hampson, this film explores the musical, biographical, and philosophical background of the monumental work. Viewers are treated to beautifully produced historical reenactments as well as interviews with many of the world’s most respected Mahler scholars and biographers, including Henry-Louis de La Grange, Donald Mitchell, Morten Solvik, and others. Philosopher Martha Nussbaum and theologians Catherine Keller and Neil Gillman also add their insights. Woven throughout is a critically acclaimed performance of the symphony featuring members of the New York Philharmonic and the Philadelphia Orchestra under the direction of maestro Neeme Järvi.

The charismatic and inspiring Claudio Abbado and the magnificent mezzo-soprano Magdalena Kožená, with the Lucerne Festival Orchestra, hold the audience spellbound in this live recording from Lucerne Festival in Summer.

This extraordinary work is executed with power, passion and sensitivity, with Magdalena Kožená giving a transcendent rendition of the final movement.

The charismatic and inspiring Claudio Abbado and the mesmerising young pianist Yuja Wang, with the Lucerne Festival Orchestra, hold the audience spellbound in this opening concert of the 2009 Lucerne Festival.

Following this, and chiming beautifully with the festival's theme of the relationship between art and nature, Mahler's First Symphony is given an illuminating and rapturously received performance.

자포자기의 심정으로 강원도 도계 중학교 관악부 임시 교사로 부임하게 된 현우. 낡은 악기, 찢어진 악보, 색바랜 트로피와 상장들이 초라한 관악부는 올해 전국대회에서 우승하지 못하면 강제 해산해야만 하고, 현우는 아이들을 데리고 가망 없는 승부를 걸어야만 한다. 우승을 장담할 수는 없지만 그렇다고 포기할 수는 없다. 아이들의 마음 속에서 싹트고 있는 음악에 대한 열정을 현우는 외면할 수 없었다. 아이들과 대회 준비에 바쁜 나날을 보내지만 그래도 여전히 옛 사랑의 그림자에 가슴 언저리가 아릿하게 저리는 현우. 그런 현우의 마음을 조심스레 보듬어 주는 마을약사 수연의 배려로 현우는 아지랑이처럼 피어나는 따뜻한 봄기운을 느낀다.
