Story Synopsis

A third-generation luthier in Cremona discovers that the spruce he has used for decades was illegally harvested from an ancient Alpine forest, forcing him to confront his conscience. He embarks on a journey to return the harvested wood to its source and craft one final violin from a fallen olive tree in the Palestinian countryside.

ملخص القصة باللغة العربية:

يَكتَشِفُ صانِعُ كَمانٍ مِنَ الجِيلِ الثّالثِ في كِرِمونا أنَّ خَشَبَ التُّسوِّ الَّذي استَخدَمَهُ لِعُقودٍ كانَ مَقطوعًا بِشكلٍ غَيرِ شَرعيّ مِن غابَةٍ قَديمَة، ممّا يُجبِرُهُ على مُواجَهَةِ ضَميرِه. فيَنطَلِقُ في رِحلَةٍ لإِعادةِ الخَشَبِ إلى مَصدَرِهِ وصُنعِ كَمانٍ أَخيرٍ مِن شَجَرَةِ زَيتونٍ ساقِطَةٍ في الرّيفِ الفِلَسطِينيّ.
