Highly Strung plot
This intimate look at the Australian String Quartet not only focuses on their fiery passion, but also on their precious instruments. "Highly Strung" tells a story of passion and obsession. It's a journey into a rarefied world of elusive tones evoked by horsehair on stringed instruments and of investors tempted to spend millions on unique instruments. The deadly sins of lust, jealousy and greed supplant the purity of philanthropy and sonic perfection. A duel of tension and harmony in a quartet of youthful virtuosos extends their skills.
