[The red violin]

THE SCENE is an up-scale auction house in

Montreal; the time is the present. The auctioneer

(Colm Feore) has come to the final item available:

"Here she is now, lot 72 the so called Red

Violin.'"

The bidding starts, the camera pans around the

small, crowded room, the faces of the anxious bidders

fill the screen, and the price of this 300-year-old

instrument begins to soar. Over and over again in The

Red Violin, the auction scene is replayed as the story of

the journey of this instrument through three centuries and

five countries is revealed.
