What to watch in the cinema this week

An Italian film set in the 1800s in a once-grand but now declining music school for girls, where “the mute” lives—a quiet and solitary maid responsible for the humblest household chores. Her life changes when she discovers a forgotten piano, as no one suspects she possesses an extraordinary musical talent, which leads her to form a secret group with the most outstanding students. Together, they dare to challenge established rules and create new melodies that will surprise the whole world.

Fun fact: Directed by Margarita Vicario, the film has been featured at festivals in Berlin, Italy, Seattle, Gijón, and had its Argentine premiere during the recent Italian Cinema Week.

A visually stunning and emotionally charged fable that tells the magical odyssey of a girl who bonds with a being from another species in a story of bravery, friendship, and connection with nature, set in an unknown world filled with fascinating creatures that will change her life forever.
