NBV Movie Group: “The Shadow of the Sun”
Landmark Bethesda Row Theatre
7235 Woodmont Avenue, Bethesda
Leo, a blue-collar Argentine worker with a musical past, is haunted by financial debt and problems at home. He does anything to stay afloat. One day, his younger brother Alex, who has been deaf since birth, offers him a solution: to participate in a musical contest in the capital, Caracas, performing a song that he has written himself, because the first prize may solve all of his economic problems. Forced by circumstance, Leo must take a leap of faith, unearth his dormant musical talent, and do the impossible to change his and his brother’s future by joining their voices in an unforgettable journey.
