Storyline
In a mesmerizing journey spanning centuries and continents, our film unfolds as Viviana, guided by a mystical encounter, connects with a self-taught violin prodigy. The story weaves through time, from a snowy Idaho meadow to modern-day England, where a stolen Stradivarius sets off a perilous chain of events.
Rooted in the 18th century, the origins of the 'Messiah' violin created by Stradivari, are revealed, guarded by Viviana across centuries. As a pivotal night orchestrated by her brings an unlikely group together, they confront unconventional realities challenging scientific skepticism.
The film explores fate, faith, and the enchanting power of music, as the characters take extraordinary leaps of faith to unlock the timeless secrets of the 'Messiah.’
