Summary
Sarajevo, 1992. A cellist plays Albinoni's Adagio in G Minor as a memorial on each of twenty-two days following a mortar attack that kills twenty-two citizens who are standing in a bread line. The music deeply affects a sniper, a… father, and an older man. Inspired by historic events. Some descriptions of violence and some strong language. Winner of the 2009 Evergreen Award. 2008.
