Synopsis

In four corners of the world, in the four seasons, four brilliant violinists take us on one extraordinary journey through their very different homelands. A celebration of life, the relationship between human beings and nature, and the timeless power of music.

Impact

Gradually the film is reaching more and more people. The film is enjoying continuing theatrical release in Australia, in cities and regionally. From feedback it seems to move people in its affirmation of the beauty and difference in the world around us, and how this, in the film's subtle message, should be protected.

It also inspires people with its music making and the talents and emotional richness of the characters. It has reached more than 10,000 people through cinema screenings in Australia, and will continue its theatrical life in other parts of the world and on TV Japan, Australia, Finland, Hong Kong, USA thus far, and on airlines Qantas and Finnair.
