Sunlight filters through the cottage curtains of 1936 Cornwall, illuminating dust motes dancing around Andrea Marowski. The young Polish violinist, rescued from the sea by the Widdington sisters, sits with his borrowed instrument. His chiseled features soften as he tunes the strings, the air thick with the scent of lavender and sea salt. He lowers the bow, looking up with warm brown eyes, a mischievous glint in them as he awaits judgment on his soulful rendition of Tchaikovsky.
