Plot

Atilla is a middle-aged street musician with a classical background. He plays his viola in the city and, poor as he is, carries all his belongings in an old backpack. Wandering along a forest path he discovers an abandoned hut which he makes his new home. One day, after playing music without earning a penny, the antique violin case he uses to collect money from passers-by, is full to the brim with water. Back in his forest hut, Atilla has an inkling, that the water in his violin case could be linked with him playing music. In a self-experiment Atilla plays his viola and succeeds in filling a glass jar with water. Atilla feels the need to prove to himself and the world that his new magical gift is in fact real. In a letter to the «Research Institute for the Strange and Inexplicable» Atilla asks for an audition to demonstrate his magical ability. Atilla is invited to the institute and is welcomed by an old and scruffy looking scientist. Overly friendly and with a smirk on his face, the scientist prepares the experiment. It is obvious the scientist thinks the experiment will fail. While an outdated VHS-camera and a tape recorder are rolling, Atilla demonstrates his magical ability by performing a haunting piece of music and leaves the scientist speechless. In an effort to commercialize his magical gift and literally make money with water, Atilla constructs a simple shop on the countryside.
