Description: Cecilia is a violinist who, during anguished sleepless nights, writes letters to the mother she never knew, haunted by her and hating her by turns. But things start to change when a new violin teacher arrives at the institute. The music of Vivaldi electrifies her and changes her attitude to life.
Notes: Translated from the Italian.
