Master violin maker, Amnon Weinstein, restores violins saved from the Holocaust. In his skilled and loving hands, instruments that were played in ghettos, camps and forests are brought back to musical life, and their individual stories along with them. The film builds to a breathtaking concert in Jerusalem's Old City on Israel's 60th anniversary, with 16 of Amnon’s restored violins being played by orchestras from Turkey and Israel. Featured are soul-stirring performances by virtuosos Shlomo Mintz, Yair Dalal and Cihat Askin.
