VISION
From world stages to quiet moments of doubt, this film dives deep into the lives of musicians who have sacrificed everything for their art. Through raw interviews and cinematic performances, they reveal the price of devotion, the weight of uncertainty, and the moments that changed everything.
Spanning genres from classical to jazz, fado to experimental music, each story unfolds with emotional honesty, exposing not just the beauty of music, but the reality behind it.

Marco Alves dos Santos - From a small village to London’s opera scene, emerging as one of Portugal’s most promising tenors.
Alexandro Frankel - A bold contemporary composer presenting new work at the Zagreb Biennale.
Matthew Lee Simon - A world-class trumpet player who has performed alongside some of the greatest names in music.
Júlio Resende - A visionary pianist and composer, blending jazz and fado into a powerful and distinctive sound.
Maia Darmé - A virtuoso harpist pushing the emotional and sonic boundaries of her instrument.
Martín Sued - A bandoneón player and composer exploring new territories beyond the roots of tango.
Daniel Lumbreras - A singular voice who created his own language to express the inexpressible.
