Moisés, a Brazilian from Minas Gerais, overcomes poverty, racism, and homophobia to become an internationally renowned pianist. Passionate about music since childhood, he teaches himself to play the piano, practicing on keys he draws on a wooden bench. Through perseverance and determination, he eventually reaches the University of Bremen in Germany, where he begins his career as a soloist. After years in Europe, he returns triumphantly to his hometown of Juiz de Fora, giving a recital where his parents see him perform for the first time.
