EN geral

Martín P. was the great promise of his generation of musicians. However, in 2015 the pianist had a mental breakdown and was admitted to El Borda psychiatric hospital in Argentina – the largest hospital of its kind in Latin America (and one whose medical practices have been contested). Four years later, and on the eve of his discharge, Martín is preparing a new solo piano piece that will mark his return, titled "Enfermaria". A touching documentary about a man who finds strength in his own weaknesses.
Solo premiered in the Acid section of Cannes Film Festival, and received the Best Documentary award at Ji.hlava film festival.
