SYNOPSIS

[EN] In the basement of IRCAM, researchers try to recreate an 18th century aria that the Italian castrato Farinelli used to sing every night for a decade to the King of Spain to soothe his melancholy. With the assistance of artificial intelligence, different human voices merge to reconstitute the singer's timbre and tessitura. Imagined with the protagonists, the film retraces this experience.
