Counterpoint

A talented yet volatile orchestral conductor and composer meets a shy and modest amateur singer, finding her voice the perfect match for a small solo in a recording of his new work - Requiem of Life.

‘Counterpoint' relates the slow-burn love story that develops between Luke and Mary, two unusual people with vastly differing histories. Mary, grieving the loss of her son, whom she nursed and cared for throughout his final years, feels in no position to embark on any sort of courtship, yet alone understand why on earth she could be found attractive.

Luke, impatient and fraught with overwork, is drawn towards Mary's spiritual approach to dealing with stress. Will music bring the two individuals together for good, or merely for the duration of the recording? Can they cope with the contrast in their characters? Will their individual melodies ultimately resolve into perfect counterpoint?
