Synopsis

Victorio est un vieux musicien-marionnettiste perturbé par une expérience personnelle malheureuse. Aussi, ne cesse-t-il de commettre maladresse sur maladresse. Enfin, le voila qui s'adresse, dans sa loge, à un portrait de jeune femme comme s'il s'agissait d'un être vivant. En dépit d'une réelle empathie, le directeur de la troupe choisit de s'en séparer. Il le maintient néanmoins comme veilleur de nuit. Un soir, justement, alors que le spectacle est terminé et le théâtre vidé, Victorio surprend un jeune homme en train de jouer du piano in petto. Charmé, le vieil homme le prend en amitié et se dispose à lui enseigner son art. Quelque temps plus tard, Victorio découvre une photo de la nouvelle poupée-vedette : elle ressemble au portrait de l'adolescente qu'il chérit avec tant d'émotion. Indigné, il pénètre sans ménagement dans l'atelier du sculpteur et dérobe le modèle qui a été utilisé pour créer la marionnette. "Nous partirons loin, là où personne ne se souviendra de nos crimes", marmonne-t-il.

In 1905, Tevye, a poor Jewish milkman living in the Russian village of Anatevka, explains to the audience what keeps the Jews of Anatevka going is the balance they achieve through following their ancient traditions, comparing their precarious circumstance to a fiddler on a roof: trying to scratch out a pleasant tune, while not breaking their necks. The fiddler appears throughout the film as a metaphoric reminder of the Jews' ever-present fears and danger, and also as a symbol of the traditions Tevye is trying to hold on to as his world changes around him. While in town, Tevye meets Perchik, a radical Marxist from Kiev. Tevye invites Perchik to stay with him and his family, and as a deal, offers him food, in exchange for Perchik tutoring his daughters.
