300 years of a remarkable musical instrument. Crafted by the Italian master Bussotti (Cecchi) in 1681, the red violin has traveled through Austria, England, China, and Canada, leaving both beauty and tragedy in its wake. In Montreal, Samuel L Jackson plays an appraiser going over its complex history.

really liked the visuals and all it made me want to start playing violin again after years. it was nice to watch how a single object can affect all those lives. a bit unrealistic movie but still fun to watch.
