In this documentary by Allan Miller, the heartaches, rivalries, struggles, triumphs and failings of the oldest American string quartet are brought to light. Despite the polite facade the Guarneri String Quartet presents to its audience while onstage, the private relationships among its members are anything but courteous. This film examines the highly volatile relationships that the musicians share with each other and how those relationships remain intact after so many years.
