- Synopsis
- The initiative and perseverance of two young idealists create a never before tried project that will change the lives of hundreds of children: the creation of an enormous choir made up of schools of all creeds, communities and social classes of Argentina (Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Evangelical, secular, public, Armenian, Arab, Galician, Basque and more).
  The members of the choir, children of ten years of age who never sang before, will not only have to meet the challenge of learning all the songs and choreographies, but also will have to overcome the great differences that separate them in order to form a single voice and sing together on a stage at the end of the year.
  Rehearsal of a Nation tells the story of this unusual project focusing on the process of creation: from the first steps of this “great choir,” to the preparations, to pulling the choir together, up to the final performance on the stage.
