Orphan is really pleased to present the first English-subtitled version of the 1994 anime movie
Hoshizora no Violin (
Starry Sky Violin). Based on a children's story by Wada Noboru, it recounts the story of Ozawa Kikuji, a boy from rural Japan, whose passion for making violins is ignited young.

Despite setbacks and family opposition, Kikuji persists, inspired by a book about Antonio Stradivari, the renowned Italian luthier.

However, he experiences devastating personal losses during World War II. Can he find his inspiration again?
