Busotti is a master craftsmen who becomes obsessed with completing the construction of a special violin when the child for which it was intended dies at birth. From these turbulent beginnings, the violin acquires a life of its own, as it is passed down the generations, stirring the passions of all those who come into contact with it. Written and directed by François Girard ('Thirty-Two Short Films About Glenn Gould').
