Pitch

Jézabel is on the verge of realizing her dream: a producer is willing to give her a chance. However, there's a condition: Jézabel must bring powerful and personal pieces to establish herself as a full-fledged artist and make people forget she is mute. Jézabel dives into the work but hits a block. That's when she receives a message from her mother whom she has never known. Jézabel realizes that by confronting her past, she can regain her emotions and have something to say again. Her mother, a classical cellist, is on tour, and Jézabel decides to meet her. It's the beginning of a journey—a voyage where Jézabel will lose everything, experience loneliness and celebration, friendship and pain. At each stage, she will compose, note by note, the album that will give her a voice. At the end of the road, Jézabel will break free from the silences that paralyze her, and in return, receive the confidence that gives her wings.
