Primavera

Venice, early 18th century. In the city’s largest orphanage, gifted young girls live and breathe music. Among them, twenty-year-old Cecilia, whose extraordinary talent and dreams of art and freedom are confined behind bars, performs only for wealthy patrons—until the arrival of spring and the new violin teacher, Antonio Vivaldi, awaken in her the courage to follow her passion and seek freedom. Primavera premiered at the Toronto Film Festival, earning acclaim for its exquisite performances, sweeping music, and a moving, intelligent story that reminds us how music flows through every vein of life.
