We jumped at the chance to really make it a classical drama, with inspiration from the greats. Verdi’s operatic drama Rigoletto features a piece named “La donna è mobile”, a canzone so catchy it had to be practiced in hideout. Thanks to it’s well-known melody, and the Opera’s dramatic qualities, we remade it to fit our story – by simply letting our actors sing their struggle to balance “Me” and “We”.

The score of the film is central to the idea and with that the choice of singers. Instead of going with the somewhat humorous approach of choosing everyday people to perform the piece, we choose to take it as close to a proper opera as possible. We worked with opera singers, old and young, with different vocal classifications to really put together a drama worth its name.
