Synopsis

Andrés Godoy, a guitar player from a young age, grows up in a poor family in Chile. At 14, he loses one arm in a working accident. During the Pinochet dictatorship he reinvents himself as a musician, creating his own unique technique. He begins a long journey lasting until today with the aim of living his dreams. The film offers a true and authentic portrayal of Godoy - between loss and resurrection, between courage and despair in an inspiring story about resilience and belief in oneself.
