A film that charms you! Living without a mother hasn't been easy for 13-year-old Nono, son of the "world's greatest" dectective. His constant attempts to impress his father inevitably land him in trouble. His latest escapade results in his being sent away just days before his Bar Mitzvah. While on the train, Nono finds a strange letter that directs him to complete a special mission. Along the way, he uncovers elusive family secrets. Co-starring Isabella Rossellini.

THE RETURN OF THE VIOLIN
A film that makes you celebrate! This is the remarkable story of a 1731 Stradivarius violin owned by Israeli Philiharmonic founder Bronislaw Huberman. The instrument was stolen in 1936 while Humberman was performing on stage a Carnegie Hall, and it remained "lost" for almost 50 years. Jewish-American virtuoso, Joshua Bell, now plays the violin in concerts around the world. If you loved Ochestra of the Exiles last year, you will be enthralled with The Return of the Violin.
