Pan is the mythological figure of desire. His love for the nymph Echo is the beginning of the music as an infinite echo of longing and dream of love.  The concerts in the historic music halls of the palaces of Potsdam Sanssouci and the parks have always been dominated by the erotic stories of Ovid since Frederick the Great. But only when the music is performed without an audience in the empty rooms does it unfold the intimate love language of a bygone era.  The documentary opens a time capsule where the music of the past commes back to life.
