Song of Names

A feature film. The film is based on the novel "Song of Names" by Norman Lebrecht. The film tells the story of Martin Simmonds and his friend Dovidl Rapoport, an eerily gifted Polish violin prodigy whose parents left him in the Simmonds’s care before they perished in the Holocaust. For a time the two boys are closer than brothers. But on the day he is to make his official debut, Dovidl disappears. Only 40 years later does Martin get his first clue about what happened to him.
