After the success of the Franco-German documentary "Martins Passion", João Carlos Martins becomes one of the few Brazilians who have attracted the attention of the international media and cultural media for his performance as a musician and for his life example, whose main brand is overcoming and determination.
Belgian filmmakers Hohan Kennivé and Tim Heirman, after watching "Martins Passion", a biographical documentary already seen by more than 1,500,000 people in Europe, decided to make a second film showing mainly the relationship between J.C. Martins and music.
"Rêverie" - "Sonho" in Portuguese, brings a retrospective of J.C. Martins at the piano, after which he shows us with great intensity his activity now as a conductor, in an example of love allied to the dream.
In it you can see the incredible ease that J.C. Martins had at the piano and in the end the drama of his hands, which even so they did not shy away from making music.
Scenes conducting in Paris, Brussels and São Paulo make the script that includes a participation of Jô Soares.
