MovieDocumentary

The entire life of singer Beatričė Grincevičiūtė is filled with music. The director sensitively and carefully creates a multifaceted portrait of the performer. In the film, she is both her own most demanding critic and a playful teacher to young children, who affectionately call her "Auntie Music." Surrounded not only by a group of friends, but also by admirers of her talent, she remains modest and simple, wanting as many people as possible to experience the beauty of music and her favorite songs. Only the subtle final shot reminds us that Beatričė experiences the world not with her eyes.
