패트릭은 아르덴 지방 산간 마을 아버지 루디가 운영하는 누드 캠핑촌의 운영을 맡고 있는 조용한 총각이다. 작업실 선반에 보관되어있던 망치 세트 중 하나가 사라지면서 패트릭의 일상은 깨어지기 시작하고, 루디가 갑자기 쓰러지면서 평화롭던 캠핑촌도 술렁이기 시작한다. 단골 손님 중 한명인 헤르만이 루디가 없는 사이에 캠핑촌을 인수할 계획을 세우면서, 패트릭은 이제 잃어버린 망치도 찾고 캠핑촌도 수호해야 하는 상항에 처한다.

Dutch composer Simeon ten Holt achieved worldwide renown in 1979, when his work for four pianos Canto Ostinato was first performed. Although some music experts viewed it with disdain - it broke with prevailing notions of serialism and tonality - the piece was a huge hit in the contemporary classical music world. In the years since, numerous musicians have released their recordings of Canto, and it is still being performed around the world. Director Ramon Gieling interviewed a large number of people about the sometimes far-reaching impact this composition has had on their lives. One interviewee tells of how Canto was the soundtrack to the birth of her son; another has a section of the score tattooed on his arm. Gieling seeks to unravel the mystery of the universal power of music, and his blend of documentary footage, fiction, essays and archive material produces a multifaceted response to the question of just what it is about this piece that touches people so deeply.
