This is a deceptively simple film, well acted and very believable. There is virtually no "action" but the undertatement of the characters, and the growing emotional involvement made it compelling viewing for me.
Set in the world of violin playing and repair, a woman conducting a relationship with a suitable man finds herself impelled to pursue an unsuitable man, who is the work partner of the first man. Like so many women before her, she believes that the unsuitable man can change if she loves him enough. Nothing very dramatic happens but the film is very clear and true in its exposition of feelings. Emmanuelle Beart is convincing as a beautiful, intelligent woman who hopes but does not understand.
