Synopsis
BARCAROLA is a cinematic boat journey based on music by Jean Sibelius and art of Ellen Thesleff. Both artists – Jean Sibelius and Ellen Thesleff – were inspired by the Finnish nature and both of them moved to cosmopolitan Europe by the change of centuries. Ellen Thesleff found her way to the Italian light. Jean Sibelius wrote Barcarola – a boat journey in Italian. They did not know each other. Now they have travelled in the same boat.
