An unconventional proposal
The idea that a Galician rondalla can help resolve modern conflicts poses an original premise. The film questions whether the path to overcoming a tragedy involves joining a group or going it alone. It remains to be seen how the audience receives this invitation to celebrate the collective through music. 🎻
