- A natural pick for people who like stories about real, flawed people. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 12 min. Short enough for a weeknight.

- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
A contest is being held in Cremona for the best violin, with Giannina's hand in marriage as the prize. Filippo is secretly in love with her, but is also ashamed of being a cripple, so he switches his superior violin with that of another apprentice, Sandro, whom Giannina loves.
