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.

A sweeping, centuries-spanning journey. It feels like a love letter to music and craftsmanship, tinged with the melancholy of time and the intensity of artistic obsession. A deeply resonant and elegant experience.
