Maestri
Drama, 2022
A daughter-father pair of orchestra conductors get into a fight when auditions go poorly.
Maestri is a film that depicts a life in the shadows. Even though Celine’s passions truly lie in music, nothing she does will ever be able to fill the shoes of her father. Bound by blood but cemented by the public gaze, Celine lives a life that feels contingent on success. In the film, Celine confronts her father in a futile attempt to plead her case.
