The story revolves around Martin Simmonds, a middle-aged man in London who has been haunted for years by the disappearance of his childhood best friend, Dovidl Rapaport, on the night of his much-awaited first public violin performance.
The film takes the audience back to London during World War II when Martin and Dovidl were young boys.

However, on the night of Dovidl's highly anticipated solo concert, he mysteriously vanishes without a trace. Devastated and left with a lingering sense of guilt, Martin spends the rest of his life searching for his lost friend, determined to uncover the truth behind his disappearance.
Decades later, when Martin is older and living in London, he stumbles upon a recording—a unique song that brings back memories of his childhood and Dovidl's extraordinary musical talents. This discovery reignites Martin's determination to find his best friend and uncover the reason behind his disappearance.
As Martin embarks on a journey to locate Dovidl, he begins unraveling the secrets surrounding his friend's past. He travels across continents, tracing Dovidl's footsteps through various cities, Auschwitz concentration camp, and the vibrant world of classical music.
The story seamlessly shifts between the past and present, depicting the deep bond between Martin and Dovidl, their shared dreams, and the horrors of World War II. Through his search, Martin encounters individuals who either knew Dovidl or were influenced by his musical brilliance, each adding a new layer to the mysterious puzzle.
As the film unfolds, secrets are unveiled, revealing the shocking truth about Dovidl's fate. The Song of Names ultimately explores themes of loss, guilt, friendship, and the profound power of music to connect people across time and generations.
