Watch Il merlo maschio

Vivaldi is an accomplished cello player that has been playing inside his town's orchestra for many years. As of recent his playing has been faltering for whatever reason. His bandmates and conductor begin to notice his deteriorating playing and they ridicule him for it. One night Vivaldi begins to take intimate photos of his beautiful wife in order to look at them during moments of sadness and depression. However, during a performance one evening the pictures are mistakenly shown to the whole audience. Instantly he and his wife become the envy of the town and ironically something that was supposed to be personal, turns into one of the biggest sensations in the community.
