HEARTBREAK SYMPHONY

Robb Moreira and Tania Possick deliver moving performances as Aarón and Mia, teenagers whose passion for music turns their tragedies into triumphs. Moreira captures the reserved nature of Aarón, a DJ who is reeling from his mother's death. Aarón's grief and anxiety follow him in the form of a robot mascot. Moreira's performance shifts into an acerbic tone for the robot as its humorous yet foreboding presence haunts Aarón. Possick's soft-spoken voice is an ideal match for Mia, a steadfast trumpet player who is plagued by doubt and stage fright. The narrators bring life to the teens' vibrant Texas neighborhood with their mix of voices and accents, which crescendo into an emotion- packed performance as the community comes together to protest injustice with art and music.
