"OF MIND AND MUSIC IS A QUIET GEM... OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCES. DE ALMEIDA, OFTEN SEEN IN VILLAINOUS ROLES, DELIVERS A BEAUTIFULLY UNDERSTATED TURN. SUPERB CINEMATOGRAPHY AND GORGEOUS MUSICAL SCORE"
- THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
-----
A lyrical and extraordinarily beautiful story woven together by the music that permeates New Orleans and the jazz that made it famous.
Renowned Neuroscientist Dr. Alvaro Cruz (Joaquim De Almeida) returns home from a lecture in Paris, heartbroken and disillusioned. In his absence, his mother has succumbed to Alzheimer's disease. Nothing that his research or science could do could stop this from happening.
As he decides to take some time off work and reconnect with the love of music that he shared with his mother finding solace in the music that permeates New Orleans' French Quarter, he hears the mesmerizing voice of Una Vida (Aunjanue Ellis) for the first time. After repeat visits to hear her sing, he realizes that she is suffering from Alzheimer's disease and that her unconventional "family" cannot cope with her declining health.
Cruz puzzles his wife, Angela (Sharon Lawrence), by seeking out Una Vida's long lost son in hopes of finally giving her resolution to the grief, loss and longing that has overshadowed her difficult but also beautiful life.
