    "description": "Tokyo, 1938. An amateur quartet, led by the compassionate Yu, gathers to practice. Suddenly, their rehearsal is brutally interrupted by military police. In the ensuing skirmish, Yu\u2019s violin is smashed while his son, Rei, witnesses his father\u2019s arrest. He will never see him again. Salvaging his father\u2019s instrument, Rei escapes thanks to a mysterious lieutenant.\nParis, 2003. Raised in France, Rei\u2013now Jacques\u2013has dedicated his life to the broken violin\u2019s repair: studying music, becoming an apprentice, and, eventually, a luthier. However, despite his effort to rehabilitate the damage of years ago, he struggles to reconcile his past with the present.\nYet, when a world-class violinist, connected to the lieutenant that helped him as a boy, appears, Jacques\u2019 past is rekindled and he perseveres in a final bid to heal. Fractured Soul is a parable of what once was lost and what there stands to be gained\u2013a story of immense beauty and ferocious courage.",
