"I Loved This Movie!" - Roger Ebert, Siskel and Ebert

An epic adventure of mystery and obsession unfolds when Charles Morritz (Samuel L.

Convinced he's found an authentic long-lost masterpiece, Morritz uncovers the spectacular journey of the priceless violin, how it changed hands and the lives of all who touched it. When the violin's shocking secret is finally revealed, Morritz must wrestle with his own demons and choose between burying the truth, and risking everything.
