The movie
Director's note
The movie MAGNIFICA is about her last evening. lt is inspired from the life of Pacifica Zelaya, talented harpist who went to this same Conservatory, but unfortunately was killed by her fiancé.
A century later, the directors rediscovered her story and intended to bring back to life a wonderful musician's voice, victim of a femicide in the early 1900's and nearly completely forgotten, by adapting a short story inspired by her life into a 2d animated movie.
This way, they wish to pay a tribute to this historical figure, while showing how misogyny sexism and how violence against women are still sadly normalized nowadays.
