PREMIER (HUNGARY): 2008.

In a village deep in Transylvania, a number of people are attending the funeral of a great Gypsy–Hungarian violinist. His death brought together all the musicians int he region. The Master is gone, but a new group is born, an orchestra of 27 musicians of Gypsies, Romanians and Hungarians. The film, like a gentle road-movie, discovers the tragic and happy moments through different destinies. Their music however, is eternal.
