A moving film evening about loss, music, and new courage at the filmforum Duisburg

With This is What Life Sounds Like, a quiet, warm-hearted, and profoundly touching film title is on the agenda at the filmforum Duisburg. The Spanish film tells the story of a village in Galicia that reunites after a tragedy - driven by music, community, and the hope for a new beginning.

A story that resonates

Director Daniel Sánchez Arévalo intertwines the misfortune of a sunken fishing boat with a storyline that balances between grief, humor, and joy for life. At the center is the Rondalla, a traditional band performance featuring bagpipes, guitars, tambourines, flags, and costumes, aimed at bringing the village together again. This creates a cinematic experience filled with emotion, rhythm, and humanity. ([filmforum.de](https://filmforum.de/filme/so-klingt-das-leben-51139/))
