A man of the people and taxi driver, Jean Carignan was first and foremost one of the world’s greatest violinists. Under his dexterous fingers, jigs and reels sounded like highly complex pieces of music; he was just as much of a virtuoso as Paganini. The type of popular music that he played has been passed on for generations by great artists who learned to play by ear, like Skinner, Coleman and Allard. Jean Carignan performs many numbers that he learned while travelling in Ireland and Scotland, which gained him international reknown as a Celtic musician. This film is also the story of a poor boy’s love for his violin, as well as a reflection of heroic times.
