Two world-renowned musicians: she - from Georgia, he – from Israel, both living in Paris. She – a young star pianist, he – a violin legend of our time. Their dialogue of love and passion in the language of music and poetry, beyond space and time …
Film with Ivry Gitlis, representing music of the Golden Age of 20th century, and Khatia Buniatishvili, a superstar of classical music of 21st century …
The film is an attempt to create a portrait of an artist per se. The idea is that art has no spatial, time, gender, age etc. limits and limitations. The artistic portraits of various art people from all over the world, from various areas of art and different time such as Ivry Gitlis, Khatia Buniatishvili, Silvana Mangano, Chopin, Beethoven, Schumann, Rachmaninov, Maria Theresa von Paradies, Arthur Rimbaud, Paul Verlaine, Gerard Philippe (those who are really starring and those who are still present in the film despite space and time distance) are synthesized and united and unified in a one whole epic portrait of an artist per se. And all this is unified by means of the most simple and abstract word that is LOVE.
