An ensemble of interesting characters are on a quest to re-invent and revitalize an early electronic musical instrument: the Ondes Martenot. The mysterious instrument was celebrated as the musical invention of the 20th century, but has since disappeared. A group of engineers, musicians and others are determined to re-introduce the invention to the world.
