Description of the content Uncle James lives in Transylvania. He’s got a family, a house and a special instrument: a cornet-turned violin. He’s got no job, no money and no strategy for the future – well, he doesn’t even know the term. He’s trying to sell his beloved instrument at the cattle-market - without success, as long as we can follow him on his way. And you start to believe: there’s no chance for a change.
