While she was preparing to shoot Princesita, her new feature, Marialy Rivas (best Avant Garde and Genre Feature at Bafici 2013 with Joven y alocada) made this small-immense documentary for Sundance’s Short Film Challenge. It tells the story of two little princesses that weren’t destined to be so: Melody and Georgina, a young woman and a little girl whose paths cross in the strings of a violin and a viola, in inhospitable and indelible, but always peripheral, places, and in the way in which music is useful (always: one has to know how to listen) in order to shorten the reaches of the word “poverty.” MP
