The story of the singer Miúcha, the anti-muse of the bossa nova.

The story of the singer Miúcha, the anti-muse of the bossa nova, a poignant life story told through a feminist perspective, of the only woman who performed with Tom Jobim, Vinicius de Moraes and João Gilberto. 

The male musicians in Miúcha’s life overshadowed her artistry. She was known as the sister of Chico Buarque, the pupil of Vinicius de Moraes, the second wife of João Gilberto, the musical partner of Antônio Carlos Jobim, and the vocal accompaniment to Stan Getz’s saxophone.

But Miúcha’s vibrant spirit couldn’t be held back, even as she struggled to find her own voice in a man’s world. She earned unprecedented success, becoming a symbol of female resilience and a musical legend forever.
