"energetic, passionate" - LA RIVISTA DEL CINEMATOGRAFO
PLOT: Late 1700s. Teresa, nicknamed “the Mute” because she never speaks and no one knows where she is from, is a maid tasked with the humblest chores at Sant’Ignazio College, a religious institution for girls near Venice. There, residents are musically trained by stern chapel master Perlina.
One day, a local craftsman gifts the Institute a modern and immediately distrusted instrument: a piano. Relegated to the basement, Teresa finds it and begins to explore the keys, unlocking her musical talents and attracting the attention of the girls upstairs. When news arrives of an imminent visit by the Pope, the Institution is thrown into chaos. With Perlina distracted, the girls gather secretly, taking turns on the piano where they begin to compose something new and exciting

DIRECTOR'S NOTES:    
Margherita Vicario, born in Rome in 1988, studied acting. In 2011, she co-directed the short Se riesco parto and in 2012 made her film debut in Woody Allen’s To Rome With Love. She also studied music and released her debut single Nota bene in 2013 and studio album Minimal Musical a year later.

Regarding her film, Vicario stated: "I started doing research on forgotten female composers and I came across the crazy stories of these all-female musical institutes with excellent musicians. I immediately thought it would be a perfect place to set a film, so I decided to make it myself".
