Playback

PLAYBACK is not just a biopic about Carlos Paião. It is a journey into the creative universe of one of the greatest geniuses of Portuguese music. Carlos studies Medicine, lives between books, exams and expectations, but it is in the secrecy of melodies, words and imagination that he finds the place where he truly breathes. In a country still discovering new sounds, he dares to trade the security of a white coat for the uncertainty of the stage, songs and a dream bigger than himself. Between duty and desire, reason and intuition, fear and courage, Carlos builds a singular path, made of talent, humor, creative obsession and an almost luminous urgency to leave his mark. PLAYBACK reveals not only the songs that made Carlos Paião an unforgettable figure in Portuguese music, but also the intimate universe from which they were born.
