Movie Info

The film enters the universe of Maria Bethania, the famous Brazilian singer, providing insight into the intimate sphere of Bethania's creative process while focusing on the history of Brazilian music. First a muse of the so-called counter culture, and then the queen of romantic ballads, Maria Bethania chronicles her musical life experience in relation to Brazilian society's development.

Onstage or in rehearsal, surrounded by familiars or alone with the camera, Ms. Bethnia is an expressive force of nature whose honeyed voice could lure sailors to their doom.

A performance-driven bio-pic which features plenty of concert footage, offset by interviews with friends, family (including her brother, renowned composer Caetano Veloso) and Maria herself.
