He has only a flirtatious neighbor and a sharp-witted old friend who lives in a nursing home for company, and his nightly violin playing is his only solace.

Armin Mueller-Stahl delivers a riveting performance in Balaban's sensitive, well-observed dramedy about an old man whose life changes dramatically after a fateful encounter with a much younger woman.
