The film chronicles life of a natural born music genius with several themes. Themes include beauty in innocents and nature, hypocrisy in Church of small village, greed and jealousy over love and finally ultimate sacrifice.
This is also a rare film to feature not only the expression of aleatoric or in the moment expression of music but also makes the connection that this expression is divine nature.
The cast of characters is vast and so forth the dynamics between characters evoke deep thought and emotion.
This album was created by Jason Page in tribute to this film. Order online, only $6 plus shipping.
