SYNOPSIS Leo is a blue collar worker haunted by financial debt living in the remote city of Acarigua, Venezuela. One day, his younger brother Alex, deaf since birth, offers him a solution: to enter a musical contest, singing a song that he has written, in order to win a cash prize that will solve his economic problems. Forced by circumstance, Leo must take a leap of faith, unearth his dormant musical talent and do the impossible to change their future, by joining their voices in an unforgettable journey.
