Brazil |2022| 99 min. | DCP - 16/9 - Color | Portuguese | Culture, Society

This documentary traces the luminous path of Léa Freire, a Brazilian composer and flutist who defies conventions. Blending classical and popular traditions, rooted in Brazil yet resonating universally, her music weaves a free and singular voice. In a world still marked by inequality, she rises quietly but powerfully, driven by an unwavering passion. The film offers a sensitive journey through her struggles, inspirations, and the inner music that becomes a language of resistance and beauty.
