The Song of Songs is also known as the "Song of Songs", one of the books of the Old Testament, but also part of the Tanach, the Jewish Bible. It is one of the most lyrical and unusual texts of the Holy Scriptures, as it is about two lovers who describe their love with words of tenderness and erotic desire. An Arab woman loves a Jew - a 2500 year old story just waiting to be rediscovered.
Jutta Speidel and Bruno Maccallini portray the lovers. Enjott Schneider and Marco Hertenstein have found a congenial music, which was conceptually enhanced with sound design by Max Rammler (Arri-Tonstudios). The Philharmonic Film Orchestra Munich (conductor: Enjott Schneider) plays with many soloists like Kai Rabsch (English horn), Stefan Schneider (clarinet), Klaus Reester (flutes)
