HANDS OF GOD

by László Barna

synopsis

Csángáló, the world-famous gypsy violist of the Szászcsávás Band, lives in a remote Transylvanian village. One day the old master's "breadwinner hand" starts shaking uncontrollably. He is suffering in Parkinson disease. A musician who drops the bow has no place in the band, thus Csángáló is expelled by his old friend, the band leader Dumnezeu. Surgery may cure his disease, but in Csángáló's archaic world, help can only come from God, there is no place for a brain surgery. His last hope is that Bálint, his equally talented grandson, would carry on the musical tradition, which is unique in the world. When everything seems to be lost, a miracle could only come from the hands of God.
