On a String

Description

A worn viola rests against the wall of a cramped New York City apartment, the instrument's polished wood reflecting the sun filtering through the window. A young, Juilliard-trained violist finds herself living with her parents while striving to establish her career in the competitive music scene. She plays gigs alongside friends in the homes of strangers, juggling the demands of her artistic ambitions with the realities of her current living situation. The cast includes Dylan Baker, Isabel Hagen, Ling Ling Huang, and Frederick Weller, who portray characters that intersect in the bustling city life. As she handles the pressures of her artistic pursuits and familial expectations, the violist weaves through her day-to-day challenges in a world filled with quirky encounters and musical moments. The narrative unfolds in the heart of New York City, where aspirations and everyday life collide.
