With her radical voice, visceral improvisation and unmistakable rasp, Elza Soares created a unique artistic language and transcended generations, continually reinventing herself as one of Brazil’s greatest artists. In the film that bears her name, Elza narrates her own story, weaving a diary that brings together memories, desires and reflections through music in dialogue with historic works of Brazilian cinema. Through Elza and her nearly century-long life, the film reveals a living portrait of a country in constant turmoil. The Woman of the End of the World sang until the very end.
