Le Silence avant Bach, œuvre d'un réalisateur catalan de 78 ans, explore, avec fantaisie, les liens que la musique de Bach peut entretenir avec les images en mouvement, et la place de cette musique dans l'Europe actuelle. Tourné en trois langues (catalan, allemand, et espagnol) entre Barcelone, Leipzig et Dresde, le film parcourt l'espace et le temps, de l'installation de Bach à Leipzig comme cantor en 1723, jusqu'à notre XXI siècle européen, au moyen de courtes séquences, très diverses (reconstitutions, voyages, entretiens, visites...), aux liens subtils.

Après avoir étudié aux États-Unis Nandan revient dans son village du Karnataka à l’occasion du décès de son père. Il reprend l’élevage de vaches de ce dernier, et se retrouve ainsi à la tête de la principale activité économique du village. Rapidement, il entre en désaccord avec le prêtre du village, pourtant son ami d’enfance, au sujet des vaches. Nandan, en partie sous l’influence de son épouse américaine, considère surtout son troupeau comme une source de profit et souhaite moderniser son exploitation, tandis que le prêtre est indigné par le peu de respect dont Nandan fait preuve envers un animal sacré dans la religion hindoue. Les deux hommes vont user l’un de son influence morale et religieuse, l’autre de son pouvoir économique, pour rallier les villageois à leur cause.
