Ambitions
Antonia dreams to become a chief conductor. Her passion for art, makes her seek and find solutions to achieve her dream. In her journey, a few tried to encourage or support her, and most discourage or laugh at her.
On the one side, the film captures the woman who wants more from life than following society’s stereotype, that of becoming a wife and mother. On the other side, the film captures the man who does not accept that a woman can have other dreams, too.
A movie about the struggle and victory of a woman who believes in her dream with all her will and nothing stops her from achieving it.
Antonia devoted her entire life to music. and remained active as a guest conductor for famous orchestras. However, she never attained a permanent position as chief conductor.
Ambitions
A wonderful movie about life lessons, self-confidence, abnegation, perseverance, and passion.
Love,
