'Harmonia' DVD Review

Abraham (Alon Aboutboul) is the conductor of the Jerusalem Philharmonic Orchestra. His wife is Sarah (Tali Sharon) the Harpist in the Orchestra. They love each other and love the arts but there is major tension between the two. You see Sarah is not able to have children and the pair want to have a family very desperately. Sarah has become pregnant over the years but miscarries every time.

A French horn player by the name of Hagar (Yana Yosef) joins the orchestra and almost immediately Abraham and Hagar hit it off. Hagar and Sarah strike up a friendship and yes you can see where this might be going. Eventually Sarah considers the thought of using Hagar as a surrogate and brings it up to Abraham. What’s funny is Hagar volunteers to be a surrogate even before Sarah speaks up.
Yes this does make for an interesting situation between the three individuals and you will have to watch to see where it goes. The story is very similar to the biblical story of Abraham and Sarah. The film is directed by Ori Sivan and is nicely laid out. The music is beautiful and the scenery is breathless. The acting by the three leads is excellent and you will enjoy this wonderful tale.

Film Movement brings this romantic drama to us on DVD on October 22th, 2019. The quality of the DVD is exceptional and the sights and sounds are superb. Israeli film making has jumped leaps and bounds over the years and this is an excellent film to pick up and add to that personal library. Another thing you can think of is the holidays are coming up and this would make a wonderful gift for that special someone.
