“When I sing, I feel free”. And it is precisely this feeling that the film about the Hamburg choir “Heaven Can Wait” tells us, in which all singers have to be at least 70 years old to be able to experience this indescribable feeling of freedom. The film portrays the people in the choir who, for different reasons and motivations, have the courage to stand in front of an audience at an advanced age and reveal a piece of their soul.
