Starburst

Since 1947, Edinburgh, Scotland, has hosted an annual three-week international festival featuring music, dance, and comedy. Pilcher assembles an unlikely cast of characters drawn to this frenetic event. A young, beautiful French violin virtuoso, an English mother working as a comic, a retired photography director, and a newlywed festival director, among others, meet and forge friendships as they each chase their dreams. Angelique Pascal, the 21-year-old violinist, is one of the star attractions, but her manager keeps her on a tight schedule and is always at her side, so that she never experiences the world outside her music.
