Vincent and his father Tomas run the finest glass workshop in the country, but find their lives upended by an impending war. The arrival in their town of an army colonel and Alliz, his young, talented, violinist daughter, shakes their reality and tests the relationship between father and son. As Vincent and Alliz’s love for each other grows, their fathers responses reflect an era when patriotism and social standing are considered more important than free thought and artistic pursuit.
