This authentic, beautifully realised musical drama is set in an 18th century Venetian church that doubles as an orphanage for young women who perform in its orchestra.
20-year-old violin virtuoso Cecilia lives at the Pièta orphanage, where, despite her talent, she remains confined, knowing that marriage is the only way out. Yet, her life takes a turn after she meets Antonio Vivaldi, a brilliant and ambitious composer who becomes the new violin teacher. Guided by Vivaldi and his music, Cecilia finds the strength to challenge the destiny that once seemed inevitable.
Combining stunning visuals from cinematographer Daria D’Antonio and an unforgettable score from Fabio Massimo Capogrosso, Primavera is the directorial film debut of Michieletto, who is a world-renowned stage director, especially known for his operas.
