Tim Roth and Clive Owen star in the latest sweeping epic from François Girard, director of The Red Violin. In London during World War II, young English Martin befriends Dovidl Rapaport, a Polish violin prodigy taken in by Martin’s family to protect him from the Nazis. By the time they are 20, the two men are as close as brothers. But on the night he is to make his heralded public debut in a packed concert hall, Dovidl vanishes, never to reappear. Decades later, the adult Martin (Roth), who has never gotten over the betrayal, sets out against the protestations of his wife (Catherine McCormack) on a quest to solve the riddle of Dovidl’s disappearance. The journey will take him to New York and Eastern Europe, where he must confront the shadow of the Holocaust that hangs over Dovidl’s life.

Producer Robert Lantos is expected to be in attendance on January 3 and 4.
