Movie description:
An old man shows a young boy how to play an old violin the boy has bought, ad their relationship grows towards a mutual respect and admiration based on love of music and the necessary hard work required to become a good musician. The film deals sensitively with the clash of youth and age.
The friendship of an elderly master musician and two boys is examined. In voice-over narration, an old wayfarer musician recalls a sacrifice made for a friendship with two young boys. The older of the two was interested in playing the violin and had been saving money for his own instrument. Over time the boys repeatedly visited the lonely cabin where the man lived with only a few pets for company. The old man related to them the history of the violin and began to teach the older boy to play. Both boys ended up learning that a second-hand violin could produce beautiful music. When spring arrived, the old man moved on, but he left his cherished violin for the boy. At their parting, after the old man has walked too far away to call after, the older boy takes up the violin and plays him a farewell.
A book version written by Robert Thomas Allen with photographs was published in 1976.
