The Song of Names

The Song of Names

In the 40s of the 20th century, Europe was bogged down in the Second World War. Many families then lost their members, some families disappeared altogether... Dowidl is a nine-year-old Polish-Jewish refugee, an incredibly gifted violinist, who was taken in by the parents of his peer Martin in London. Let the boys have completely different origins, but they will become brothers. But a few hours before the debut concert of the already twenty-one-year-old Dovidl, the boy went missing, which negatively affected the reputation of the family that accepted him... Only 35 years later, Martin accidentally found traces of his brother - and from that moment he decided that he should do everything possible to try to find him again.
