Three Years in Planning and Conception──The "Goddess" Revealed Through the Eyes of Her Own Daughter

Martha Argerich, a pianist who displayed extraordinary talent from childhood and was called a "living legend" at the age of 16. With a powerful and overwhelming performance that belies her beautiful appearance, she has reigned as the "goddess" of the classical world for over 50 years.



However, her scandalous private life, including sudden concert cancellations and having three daughters with different fathers, along with her capricious and passionate personality, are well-known, with her "unconventional nature being praised as part of her art." This film delves into the extremely private aspects of her life that have never been revealed before, exploring her core.



The director is Martha Argerich's daughter, Stéphanie Argerich. In addition to private family videos, the camera of her "own daughter" captures her in various locations, including her hometown of Buenos Aires, her current residence in Switzerland, Japan, France, and Poland.



Lida, the eldest daughter, who has never lived with Martha since birth. Annie, the second daughter, who took care of her younger sisters in place of their busy mother. And Stéphanie, the third daughter, who has watched her mother through a lens since childhood. The thoughts of the daughters, who know both Martha the mother and Martha the famous pianist. Behind-the-scenes of concerts that have never been revealed before. What are the loneliness and struggles of Martha Argerich, living as a renowned pianist and as a mother?



At first glance, it may seem like the story of an extraordinary family with an extraordinary mother, but it will eventually resonate with universal family issues and gain the empathy of many.
