Third in the River series. Piano tuner Eiko travels up the Danube River. In the ancient city of Bratislava, where Mozart's melodies flow, she encounters the sound of shepherds calling forth spring from the earth with their long whips, the echoing sound of the fujara flute in the mountains and fields, and a music box playing memories... Eiko meets the kind-hearted people of Slovakia and the vibrant sounds of spring.

A drama-documentary presented by Alan Yentob, with Benedict Cumberbatch in the lead role. Every word spoken by the actors in this film is sourced from the letters that Van Gogh sent to his younger brother Theo, and of those around him. What emerges is a complex portrait of a sophisticated, civilised and yet tormented man.

With the aid of a fellow Auschwitz survivor and a hand-written letter, an elderly man with dementia goes in search of the person responsible for the death of his family.
