Summary:

​

May 24th 1768: a small Castilian pipe organ leads a peaceful existence among sisters in the Buenafuente del Sistal monastery.

​

Everything changes when Napoleon's armies invade Spain: the monastery is sacked, the village is abandoned, the sisters are starving, and the pipe organ is silenced.

​

It will take decades and the combined efforts of volunteers, musicians and organ builders from Spain and France to save the monastery and let the pipe organ play again.
