In this new Australian produced film, in four corners of the globe, in the four seasons, four outstanding violinists guide us on an extraordinary journey through their four very different homelands.
From the springtime blossoms of Japan, into the blistering heat and thunderstorms of an Australian summer; from a joyful autumn in New York, to the unforgiving cold and human warmth of a Finnish winter.
Antonio Vivaldi’s well known The Four Seasons is given a brilliant and bold new lease of life by the musicians, as the timeless stories his music tells form the backbone to this bold and engaging celebration of friendship, homeland and the cycles of life.
