O tem filmu

Two aging spinster sisters have their peaceable Cornwall existence disrupted in 1936 when they take a young Polish violinist into their care. After a particularly violent storm, Ursula and Janet Widington awake to find young man Andrea half-drowned and badly injured on the beach. They slowly discover that he is a Polish Jew with a gift for music as an accomplished violinist, hoping to find his way to America. But the village isn't used to visitors and everyone, with the exception of the sisters, is full of suspicions, especially when Andrea develops a friendship with a beautiful Russian woman vacationing nearby. Eventually, the two must make a choice between trying to keep their new charge for themselves or setting him free in the world.

In the fantasy and in the real world there is so much violence. I found this movie to be soul-refreshing and beautifully portrayed. You cannot do better than Maggie Smith and Judi Dench. The musical score is wonderfully written and its theme exquisitely performed by Joshua Bell. Do yourself a favor and brew a cup of tea and watch this movie. I know I will be watching it again.

Loved the movie, but it's about a widow and her spinster sister.

Absolutely wonderful that one may enjoy this is a masterpiece of artwork
