»This film story develops within a classic triangle of love, sadness and music. Basically, there’s something tragic in all great love stories, and beautiful sad songs describe them best, we all know that – but why do we find so much pleasure in this sadness? I was not interested in the pathetic and almost vulgar sadness, but in that rare, cultivated sadness, that inexplicable marvellous feeling that refines people and gives them a special glow« (Metod Pevec, director and screenwriter). Actresses Silva Čušin was awarded with Vesna award for the main role at the Festival of Slovenian Film.

SYNOPSIS

Dora Fabiani is a piano teacher, but more significantly, for 30 years she was a wife and muse to a violinist Mihael Fabiani. He was more successful, but she was his right hand. After his unexpected death, Dora discovers that she was not the only woman in his life and that her husband had kept a good deal of his intimate life to himself. She is deeply hurt by his betrayal. At that point, a modest boy Amir from a poor family enters her life. Amir, who claims that he used to play with her late husband in some rather disreputable pub, would like to have a chance to play on Fabiani's precious violin just for once. Dora listens to him play.
