When the famous violinist Mihael Fabiani
suddenly dies, he leaves behind not only a valuable violin but also some touchy
secrets that, when revealed, deeply affect his widow, Dora. Emotionally broken,
she gives the violin to a talented boy from a poor family. The boy makes great
progress with the violin, and Dora on the other side is happy that the soul of
the instrument lives on. However, the spoiled and frustrated Fabiani's son
Julian appears, interested only in the great financial value of the old Italian
violin, which is, of course, also his legitimate inheritance. The age-old
conflict between love and money ensues… From the talented director of BENEATH
HER WINDOW, presented at EUFF 2005.

de Fabiani, Julijan, à la recherche seulement de la grande valeur monétaire de
l'antique violon italien qui, bien sûr, lui revient de droit...
