‘The Song of Names’ opens at Cinema Art Theater Jan. 24
Starting Friday, Jan 24, the Rehoboth Beach Film Society’s Cinema Art Theater will present “The Song of Names,” a deeply moving musical drama about friendship, betrayal and reconciliation that unfolds over a half century and two continents.
As Europe erupts into World War II, 9-year-old Martin comes to love his new brother Dovidl, a highly gifted violin prodigy of the same age and recent Polish-Jewish refugee to London. But hours before Dovidl's debut concert performance at the age of 21, he vanishes without a trace, causing shame and ruin for their family.
A lifetime later, a young violinist shows 56-year-old Martin (played by Tim Roth) a stylistic flourish that could only have been taught by Dovidl (played by Clive Owen). This triggers Martin's odyssey overseas in search of his lost brother, one that will lead to surprising revelations for both men and for Helen the woman who stood between them.
