Synopsis

This fi lm portrays an artist for whom only perfection would do. This documentary re-creates a life that spanned the 20th Century, a life that both infl uenced the period, and was affected by its turbulent times. We hear from all the great violinists of his generation, and from many of his former students who are still alive, that Heifetz was a legendary but mysterious fi gure whose story embodies the dual nature of artistic genius: the paradox of how a mortal man lives with immortal gifts – gifts he must honor, but which extract a lifelong price.
