Synopsis :
On the eve of a world renowned string quartet's 25th anniversary season, their
beloved cellist, Peter Mitchell (Christopher Walken), is diagnosed with the early
symptoms of Parkinson's Disease. When Peter announces he wishes to make the upcoming
season his last, his three colleagues find themselves at a crossroad. Competing egos
and uncontrollable passions threaten to derail years of friendship and
collaboration. Robert Gelbart (Philip Seymour Hoffman), the quartet's second
violinist, announces his desire to alternate chairs with first violinist Daniel
Lerner (Mark Ivanir), after years of sacrifice and peacemaking for the benefit of
the group. Robert's wife, violist Juliette Gelbart (Catherine Keener) has a
particularly difficult time grappling with the tragic diagnosis, as Peter has served
not only as a colleague, but as a dear father figure since childhood. When Juliette
is unable to support her husband, their marriage is strained with a palpable tension
that they can no longer ignore. Tossed into the maelstrom is their daughter
Alexandra (Imogen Poots), a talented violinist in her own right. Like her father,
she too decides to act on her desires.
As the string quartet prepares to play Beethoven's Opus 131 for what might be the members' last concert together, the seven movements of the piece echo their own tumultuous journey.
