Synopsis:

What if a violin could tell the story of its owners across a century?

One violin. One curse. One hundred years.

Germany 1871. A violin of pure perfection. Crafted with love by its creator and set to make him and his family a fortune. His wife, Katharina, is duped by a powerful businessman and their dreams of a better life lie shattered.

Distraught, Katharina wishes her husband had never created his masterpiece and in anger places a curse on the instrument. For the following 100 years, anyone who plays her husband’s violin will die an untimely death.

And so begins the poignant journey of the violin through the century.

Eight linked stories set against the brutality of the 20th Century. From the trenches of the First World War to the evil of Nazism; the Second World War and the brutality of the Holocaust, through to the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall.

Fortunes rise and fall in a terrible refrain… Unrequited love, friends betrayed, terrible secrets exposed, families torn apart. Can the soaring purity of the music the violin produces save them?

Who will survive the curse of the violin? Eight people scattered across the century, each cursed by a single violin and its everlasting Song of Sorrow.
