The two star in “Música,” a film written and directed by Mancuso, who based the story on an alternate version of himself.
The film follows Rudy, an alternate version of Mancuso himself, who’s a recent college graduate living with synesthesia, a condition that makes him hear rhythm in all sounds. He’s stuck living at home, and involved in an on and off relationship that he no longer wants. He then meets Isabella (Mendes), a Brazilian-American girl that causes him to ask himself all sorts of questions about the life he wants and the person he wants to be.
“Música” premieres on SXSW today, March 24. The film will be available to stream on Prime Video, on April 4th.
