87 mins

In the vibrant city of Miami, an 18-year-old talented pianist named Vera has a passion for Latin Jazz. When she gets a freelance job at a music studio Vera seizes the opportunity to play in front of Hector, the studio owner. Hector recognizes her undeniable talent but is an unscrupulous music producer who exploits her dreams for his own gain and steals the composition from her.

Vera must confront her own insecurities and doubts about her worthiness in the competitive world of music. But through perseverance, resilience, and the support of her friends, Vera embarks one last time on a journey of self-discovery, finding her voice and carving out a future in the rich tapestry of Latin Jazz.
