Jo, wild, melancholic, and only 15, is too shy to listen to the music she truly loves. When her classmate Phaedra performs an ethereal song that makes Jo’s heart skip a beat, everything suddenly shifts. Between one breath and the next, Jo writes a poem and cuts a rose as an apology for her moody mother. The details of last night’s dream slip from her mind. A day of changes. Presented at the Venice Film Festival.
