Casting call
Premiere of the musical "The Sound of Industry"
Plot:
After the devastating fire of 1921, a modern factory is built in Ferndorf on an American initiative, while many farming families are sceptical about industrialization. Viktor's family also rejects progress - but Viktor dreams of a future in music. Against the resistance of his parents, he began working at the factory in 1929 in order to finance his dream. A trip to New York opens up new musical worlds for him and his love for Janice. However, when the economic crisis brings hardship to his family, he has to choose between responsibility and his big dream.
