Costanza is drinking a beer in a Prague pub, a summer night in 1968, while a violinist enters and starts playing a "canone inverso" for her. It is not a case, that music and that violin have a story behind that could concern her. It is the love story between Jeno Varga and the music, between Jeno and Sophie.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Hans Matheson trained for months to fake-play violin convincingly; close-ups use real virtuoso Ksenija Milošević's hands.
The 'canone inverso' structure mirrors the film's DNA: two narratives running opposite directions that finally collide.
