The setting is Tehran of 1958, Nasser Ali Khan is one of the most renowned violinists of
his day. His beloved violin was
recently broken and he begins to lose all taste for life. He goes to his bed to die because he
cannot find another instrument worthy enough as a replacement.
I didn’t like the use of flashbacks for the telling of this
story plus the mood is very melancholy and down. Once you know all the background, you have sympathy for Nasser. With limited information, you want to tell him
to get up and get going, stop
feeling sorry for yourself and get out of bed!! 3* (This movie is OK)
