The story about Swedish ambassador in Chile - Harald Edelstam - and his heroic actions to protect the innocent people from the execution during and after the military coup on September 11th 1973. We travel with Edelstam during the terrible moments just after the coup and follows his never-ending fight for human rights, law and order. What drove him? And what price did he end up paying for his total commitment? Haunted by his own demons the we experiences on close hand how a womanizer desperately searches to find love again, a task only doable, if he can fight his own past and redeem himself. After saving hundreds - maybe even thousands - he is challenged once more, this time to save his newfound love from the death penalty issued by the regime. Another impossible task and a desperate chase against time. Based on a true story about a man, that did, what all of us only dreams of.

The music opens with "Should I Reveal", and between landlord interruptions, goes on to "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," "Whispering," "Farewell Blues" and concludes with "Isle of Capri."

An orchestra is a large instrumental ensemble that contains sections of string, brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments. The term orchestra derives from the Greek ορχήστρα, the name for the area in front of an ancient Greek stage reserved for the Greek chorus. The orchestra grew by accretion throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, but changed very little in composition during the course of the 20th century.
A smaller-sized orchestra for this time period (of about fifty players or fewer) is called a chamber orchestra. A full-size orchestra (about 100 players) may sometimes be called a "symphony orchestra" or "philharmonic orchestra"; these modifiers do not necessarily indicate any strict difference in either the instrumental constitution or role of the orchestra, but can be useful to distinguish different ensembles based in the same city (for instance, the London Symphony Orchestra and the London Philharmonic Orchestra). A symphony orchestra will usually have over eighty musicians on its roster, in some cases over a hundred, but the actual number of musicians employed in a particular performance may vary according to the work being played and the size of the venue. A leading chamber orchestra might employ as many as fifty musicians; some are much smaller than that. Orchestras can also be found in schools. The term concert orchestra may sometimes be used (e.g., BBC Concert Orchestra; RTÉ Concert Orchestra)—no distinction is made on size of orchestra by use of this term, although their use is generally distinguished as for live concert. As such they are commonly chamber orchestras.
Bernard Johan Herman Haitink, CH, KBE (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈbɛrnɑrd ˈhaːi̯tɪŋk]) (born 4 March 1929) is a Dutch conductor and violinist.
Haitink was born in Amsterdam, the son of Willem Haitink and Anna Haitink. He studied music at the conservatoire in Amsterdam. He played the violin in orchestras before taking courses in conducting under Ferdinand Leitner in 1954 and 1955.
Haitink became second conductor of the Netherlands Radio Union Orchestra in 1955. He took the post of chief conductor of the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic in 1957. His conducting debut with the Concertgebouw Orchestra was on 7 November 1956, substituting for Carlo Maria Giulini. After the sudden death of Eduard van Beinum, Haitink was named first conductor of the Concertgebouw Orchestra on 1 September 1959. He became principal conductor of the Concertgebouw Orchestra in 1961, and shared that position jointly with Eugen Jochum until 1963, when Haitink became sole principal conductor. With the Concertgebouw Orchestra, Haitink made many recordings for the Philips label, and later Decca and EMI Classics, and toured widely with the orchestra.
Richard Georg Strauss (11 June 1864 – 8 September 1949) was a leading German composer of the late Romantic and early modern eras. He is known for his operas, which include Der Rosenkavalier and Salome; his Lieder, especially his Four Last Songs; and his tone poems and other orchestral works, such as Death and Transfiguration, Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks, Also sprach Zarathustra, An Alpine Symphony, and Metamorphosen. Strauss was also a prominent conductor throughout Germany and Austria.
Strauss, along with Gustav Mahler, represents the late flowering of German Romanticism after Richard Wagner, in which pioneering subtleties of orchestration are combined with an advanced harmonic style.
Strauss was born on 11 June 1864, in Munich, the son of Franz Strauss, who was the principal horn player at the Court Opera in Munich. In his youth, he received a thorough musical education from his father. He wrote his first composition at the age of six, and continued to write music almost until his death.

Armin van Buuren (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɑr.mɪn vɑn ˈby.rə(n)]), OON (born 25 December 1976 in Leiden, Netherlands) is a Dutch trance producer and DJ. Between 2007 and 2010, he was voted number one in DJ Magazine's annual top 100 list of the most popular DJs. In the 2011 list, he ranked in second place. Since 2001, Van Buuren has hosted a weekly radio show called A State of Trance, which claims to have around 15 million weekly listeners in 26 countries, which would make it one of the most listened-to radio shows in the world. His 2008 studio album, Imagine, entered the Dutch album chart at #1, a first for a dance music artist in Dutch music history.
Armin van Buuren was born in Leiden, Netherlands on 25 December 1976, but grew up in Koudekerk aan den Rijn. Van Buuren started making music when he was 14.[citation needed] He was inspired by French electronic music composer, Jean Michel Jarre, and wished to become a great electronic music composer like Jarre.[citation needed]
He finished high school at the Stedelijk Gymnasium Leiden in 1995, and left for college to study law at Leiden University. While studying law, Van Buuren's interest for making music blossomed, and he began working as a DJ in a local club called Nexus. As his musical career began to take off, he put his law degree on hold, although he did return to finish law school in 2003.
[Instrumental]
The perception of your body is like harmony
I wanna track your moves like a single piece
Oh, I'm lovin' what I'm hearin'
Lovin' what I'm seein', lovin' what I'm feelin'
You, got me so dumb, got me so sprung
And I'm lovin' every minute
And I'm lovin' everything about ya
And babe, I can't roll without ya
And then she's callin' my name
I be makin' her sing like an orchestra, like an orchestra
And as we lay I make the music play
Sounding like an orchestra, like an orchestra, oh
I wanna lay you down just right and make this song complete
Get you wrapped up in my lyric sheet
My hearts pounding like a bass drum, boom
As you're blowin' on my trombone
I just want to conduct you
Make you do what I want to
So ask me to run through
When those beautiful sounds make up those jam beats
She be callin' my name
I be makin' her sang like an orchestra, like an orchestra
And as we lay let the music play
Soundin' like an orchestra, like an orchestra, oh
Let us come together like a cymbal crash
When I love you major when I lay you down like
Can you feel my need as I bang my drum?
The harder I hit the more the symphony comes, oh
She be callin' my name
I be makin' her sang like an orchestra, like an orchestra
And as we lay make the music play
Soundin' like an orchestra, like an orchestra
Here I am
A young man
Come and get me if you can
Up in my room covered in flames
Meet me at the cinema
You can take me in your car
I'll lie in the back and stare at the planes
[Bridge]
There's an orchestra in me
Playing endlessly
I even hear it now
Wohohohoho !
They play in the devil's key
An endless symphony
I even hear it now
[Chorus]
And I listen to the music
Beautiful music
Yes I listen to the music
Beautiful music
Here I am
A young man
You can roll me in your hand
Throw me up high into the air
I wandered on
Ripped and torn
A samurai in a storm
Over the sand into the glare
[Bridge]
Because there's an orchestra in me
Playing endlessly
I even hear it now
Wohohohoho !
They play in the devil's key
An endless symphony
I even hear it now
[Chorus]
And I listen to the music
Beautiful music
Yes I listen to the music
Beautiful music
Here I am
A young man
A crashing computer program
Here is a pen
Write out my name
[Bridge]
There's an orchestra in me
Playing endlessly
I even hear it now
Wohohohoho !
They play in the devil's key
An endless symphony
I even hear it now
[Chorus]
And I listen to the music
Beautiful music
Oh I listen to the music
Beautiful music
Yes I listen to the music
Beautiful music
Yes I listen to the music
