Soon after his arrival, members of a local church choir who practice in the parish
hall, ask him to listen to a section of their work. And as he gets involved with
the choir, and therefore, with the members of his childhood community, Daniel makes
new friends – as well as enemies – and unleashes a series of events that forever changes
both himself and the ones he once left behind.

A beautiful and engaging film, As
It Is In Heaven

is a wonderful story about life and love that is bound to appeal
to music lovers and anyone interested in heart-wrenching dramas.
