Anna Magdalena Bach: Two Women by Miguel Ángel Barroso García

Short Experimental
A poetic portrait of the music and singer Anna Magdalena Wilcke, second wife of Johann Sebastian Bach, which explores her inner search through an imaginary mirror in which the girl and the woman look at each other face to face, observe each other with mutual respect and, finally, speak to each other considering their lives through the music that flows through them like an unexpected stream, although sought out and translated on the stave as immortal notes; this music is responsible for their moods: sadness, melancholy and joy overflow equally through the seasons ridden with memories.
