Maria yearns for a life as in The Sound of Music (1965), the international blockbuster about an uninhibited nun, also named Maria, who becomes the governess to the von Trapp family. To get as close as possible to that life, she tries to reenact the film in its entirety. Maria sings every song, she climbs every mountain. Maria embraces Maria and never lets go of her.

The Sont of Mjoezik is a duet between a young woman and the big screen, between an aspiring actress and the characters who shaped her. Balancing on the edge of a hopeful childhood and a promising future, she tries to be what she once imagined she would become. But as she directs herself to perfection, her body changes. She grows, but the big screen does not. 

“Reenacting many people’s favorite film on your own: that shows guts. But she does it in such a sublime way that sometimes I like it better than the original.” – Guy Coolen, artistic director O.
