Foundling

Directed by Zoran Lesić

With Žan Luka Kolarić, Maja Kunščič, Lojze Matjašič, Mojca Partljič and Aljaž Prosenjak

Two sisters discover an abandoned infant in the forest and, unable to find his mother, have him baptized as Aleksander (Leksej) and adopted by their family. Enchanted by the itinerant violinist Jakob, Aleksander becomes his pupil, inherits Jakob’s violin on his deathbed, and despite being bound to hard shepherd duties and facing jealousy, persists in pursuing his musical gift.
