On the eve of the auction, a group of experts, led by Charles Morritz, explores an unusual color and perfectly sounding old violin. Its amazing past is clarified. Created in the seventeenth century by the Italian master Nikolo Bussity, the violin mysteriously performs the fate of its owners, giving and taking love, and sometimes the life itself. Understanding the true value of the violin, immeasurable with money, as if spellbound, Morrician tries to become its owner.
