Kristallnacht Sonata
is a touching story that takes place amid World War II in Berlin, Germany, during the systematic removal of Jews from the city. A father and son practice a Bach violin and piano sonata before being assaulted in their home by Nazi soldiers. The boy manages to escape capture and is left alone with nothing but his violin. We follow him into the future as an old man, when he relives this heartfelt musical tradition he shared with his father many years before. Directed by Julius Robins.
