Synopsis

This nearly hour-long movie is Egoyan's contribution to Inspired By Bach, a series of six films featuring cellist Yo-Yo Ma collaborating with different artists to explore new interpretations of the six Bach Cello Suites. In Sarabande, Yo-Yo Ma (playing himself) arrives in Toronto, amidst a certain amount of confusion, to perform in concert and teach a master class. In various time frames, parallel story lines develop involving a dying physician, the young female doctor taking over his practice, the old doctor's real estate agent, her boyfriend, Yo-Yo Ma, and his limousine driver. The characters come into contact with Bach's suite at various times and under different circumstances. All of them experience an emotional transformation, related to the depth of their relationship with the music and each other.
