- ShortThe film explores the practice of polyphonic singing in the Czech Republic. Melodies from preserved regional songbooks (Kodexes) are unearthed in the contemporary through the voices of three choirs in the varying spheres of academia, religion, and the commonplace.

As the art form is exposed, the spirituality of music permeates these seemingly distinguished worlds, making evident paradoxical intersections through the poetics of their movements and melodies.
