About Film
At the dawn of 1800, not far from Venice, stands the Sant'Ignazio Institute, a cross between an orphanage, a conservatory, and a convent. For years now, it has been home for Teresa, a young woman with a special gift: a talent that allows her to listen to the world around her and transform it, animating it with new, contemporary, timeless music. Together with a small group of extraordinary musicians, she crosses centuries by inventing rebellious, light, and modern pop music. Gloria! speaks of the imagination, inventiveness, and talent of all women composers who have remained hidden in the pages of history.
