The participants of the choir, young people from all over Latvia, have been dedicating their time and energy to music. At this day and age. With all their hearts.
The film is a game with words: while and meanwhile. That is (good) team-work between the conductor of choir and singers of it. That is deliberate burning of ourselves.
The neverending attempt is the film. If the dectruction surprise us, then we aren?t in the attempt of choir.
The vertical (line) of the documentary shows us that it?s invariable, but the cross (line) of the documentary shows us that it goes as far as the neverending ?pitch?.
The film ?While?.? is the mirror image of choir ?Kam?r?.?, and the viewer can see it through the white dresses of singers of the choir, trough the drops of sweat on the under the nose, trough the singers of choir in the close-up, when the musical ectasy is in the culmination point.
