- 2023 Winner Indiemusic Schweppes Award"About Miúcha, I can say that I personally watched, during a stay in Rio, the film of a famous concert in Italy in '78. Accompanied by Tom Jobim, Vinicius and Toquinho, she sings their songs and those of her brother Chico Buarque... she sings with a giant smile which characterizes her and the chemistry between them is notorious and effervescent. As she says in the documentary, she had very close and intense relationships with the great names of bossa nova; she "drank from the fountain." In this film we get to know her journey in a very intimate way, narrated in the first person, through a rich documentation of audio, films, photographs, letters, watercolours in animated forms... We witness a "darker" and real side of a marriage with João Gilberto that caused great hindrances to her artistic career - and how she later freed herself. Cosmopolitan and with a voice that stands apart from the classic bossa nova standard, we thus celebrate the life of this singer who stepped out of the shadow of a giant and into one of them."
