The turbulent life of an outstanding violinist Bronisław Huberman, the tempo of which was set by the constant changing of residence. Born in Częstochowa, he will be considered a child genius in Poland and sent to study further in Berlin. That is how his life journey begins, and during that journey he will visit most of the European countries, meet famous people (for example Johaness Brahms), and do amazing things (he will found the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra in Tel Aviv). In 1940, after one of his tours in the USA, he decides to stay there until the end of the war, and dies in 1947. A film showing the chronicles of Huberman’s life chronologically, paints him as a virtuoso, social activist, and a passionate humanist.
