It
is a little story of a tiny place, where people are hiding amongst the
crowd and their names are not familiar to the daily news. Yet deep
inside there's a big deal that flourishes out of a social distress.
These people's present is the sad result of past mishaps, however what a
wonderful future is happening, almost inadvertently, to their children. We,
the creators of "Violinists", were given an extraordinary chance to
probe with our camera the mother of all questions a documentarist asks
himself, while portraying the situation as it is: Can it be changed? And if it is, how can it be changed?
