“There must be a different solution than the one from hell’. Full unadulterated terror (and music). 'The best class always ends with a lesson'. Almost baroque in its ambition and detail, Akerman and Seabra Lopes’ mesmerising short film delves deeply into the hard-wired dread of music lessons. Sewn around Schubert’s steely Opus 1, which is itself based on the no less terrifying legend of Goethe's Erlkönig, their film is a revelation.” International Film Festival Rotterdam.

A story about the need for tolerance through a metaphor of life - a blind man can finally see but refuses to see the world around him. A story involving a love that disappears because of the lack of understanding one another. A friendship that goes beyond all the difficulties that arise along the way. Emotion through simple situations, recognizable people, that we can find in any city in the world. A blind pizzaiolo, of Italian descent, an Argentine, from a wealthy Jewish family and a friend, the waiter, who becomes the 'eyes of the pizzaiolo.' Within this familiar environment, the story told is about the lack of understanding that exists in our world today. This is not a typical Brazilian story or from a specific place, it is a story of our time about individualism, about respect for what the other desires.
