The movie tells the story of Laerte (Lázaro Ramos), a talented violinist who after failing to be admitted into the OSESP Orchestra is forced to give music classes to teenagers in a public school at Heliopolis. His path is full of difficulties, but the transforming power of music and the friendship arising between the teacher and the students open the door into a new world. Written by Gullane
It is a beautiful film. this is the lead motif to see it. the story, the performances, the noble message, the translations of the realities from favela. but, in same measure, it has two admirable seed -virtues. first - Lazaro Ramos giving a great portrait of Laerte do Santos. the second -Kaique de Jesus as Samuel. sure, as teacher, I am profound subjective about this film. who could seems too sentimental or too pathetic or unrealistic. but it is perfect tool for send a precise message. a real usefull one. abound changing the other. about dedication. about the right place and about context. about transformation of yourself. about people. and teachers. and the wise way to the succes. so, a small gem.
