Actor and singer Margherita Vicario dedicates her film to “all the female composers who were written out of history.” Set in a convent in Venice, Italy, in 1800, the story follows Teresa, a musically gifted girl who discovers a rare and modern instrument—a pianoforte—while cleaning a storeroom. As Teresa plays the instrument, her music reaches the ears of the convent’s choir girls. Her boundlessly free and “revolutionary” music begins to crack the physical and psychological walls that have confined the girls, and they form bonds of friendship through music each night. Meanwhile, the elderly choir director, struggling to rekindle his long-faded musical inspiration, prepares for the newly elected Pope’s visit, and the girls also prepare a spectacular performance for the upcoming concert. This film is a joyful blend of female artists’ solidarity and self-reliance, mixed with musical elements. Most of the music, spanning pop, jazz, and classical genres, was composed by the director herself. (LEE Juhyun)
