I have read that this movie is about solidarity. Maybe. When the boy finds eventually the thief who stole his accordion, the guy is trying some notes at the instrument, obviously an ignorant in music. However it's music, and the boy stays puzzled and touched altogether, realizing that revenge is out of place here. It's genuine love for music, and the thief needs directions. It's more than solidarity, both the thief and the boy understand a truth that's impossible to express in words. It's the language of music that operates here. It's the state of grace, Mozartian grace.
More than a masterpiece: it's a miracle!
