Nicola Bussoti, a grasp violin craftsman, has produced the &quotmost ideal acoustic machine,&quot in hope of his unborn son to be a great musician. Anna, Bussoti’s wife, seeks knowledge about her future via an old woman, and her capability to foresee her fate with Tarot cards. The old woman makes 5 predictions about Anna’s future: she will travel, there will be mountains and forests there will be sickness all over the place she goes she will meet with a guy: the devil itself and lastly the rebirth: she will be preferred amongst individuals, where her journey will come to an finish.

The red violin arises as a symbol of Ana’s existence and the prophecies predicted by the old woman.

Jackson) rescues the violin and obviously states his intention to give it to her daughter.
