“New Favorite”
At the “October” cinema
Why not combine traditional Easter celebrations with watching a film that will immerse you in the atmosphere of the 17th century to the sounds of classical masterpieces. “The New Favorite” is a stylish Italian film that tells the story of a young violinist Cecilia, who lives in the world of strict rules of an orphanage, until Vivaldi himself becomes her teacher.
