Sex, Drugs and String Quartets.
The Landau String Quartet comes together to rehearse. Each player has travelled a very different path to become a musician. In this dramatised documentary, the musicians reveal the story of that journey. In their own words, they talk of abusive teachers, loss of innocence, seductions, fear and attempts to escape the pressure of discipline. The filmmaker, Carla Thackrah, herself a professional musician, comments: “I’ve always been fascinated by the strong psychological correspondence between a musicians’ self-definition and their instrument. This film is essentially a dramatised documentary around this theme.”
