Gauche the Cellist

Gauche the Cellist

198263 min7.3 / 10

A gentle, whimsical fable about artistic growth and compassion, where a struggling musician finds purpose through magical encounters with animals seeking his help.

Gauche is a diligent but mediocre cellist who plays for a small town orchestra and the local cinema in the early 20th century. He struggles during rehearsals and is often berated by his conductor during preparations for an upcoming performance of Beethoven's Sixth Symphony. Over the course of four nights, Gauche is visited at his mill house home by talking animals as he is practicing.
