“They shot the Piano Player”: an animated investigation into the disappearance of the best bossa-nova pianist. The Brazilian Francisco Tenorio Jr., known as “Tenorio”, enjoys an immense aura in the circles of jazz and bossa nova.
A prodigy and virtuoso pianist, he suddenly “evaporated” in Buenos Aires, at the age of 34, one evening in 1976. The film gives voice to all those who made this musical genre legendary, and even beyond. Redrawn on screen but recorded with their real voices, we see myths of Brazilian music.
