“Música” is a semi-autobiographical movie on Amazon Prime about a young Brazilian-American struggling to find his way in life and love as he suffers from a form of synesthesia, a condition where a person perceives reality through atypically combined senses. It is both artistically produced and profound in its simplicity, which is the perfect mix to keep audiences equally entertained and touched.
