Feb 2 Fri
7:00 pm – Gonzaga: From Father to Son

Director: Breno Silveria

Duration: 120min

Genre: Drama

Synopsis: The film follows the rise of Luiz Gonzaga, from his humble beginnings in northeastern Brazil, his determination, his unpreparedness and lack of training to deal with fame, and his emotional distance from his son, who would also become a famous singer. The movie is a remarkable portrait of two generations of talented musicians and their attempt to develop an honest father-son relationship.
