It’s hard to encapsulate a whole movie in a trailer without ruining it, but whoever edited the Música trailer infuses the whole thing with the rhythm underpinning its main character's torment.

Set in Newark, New Jersey, it’s written, directed, and starring YouTuber Rudy Mancuso, who is plagued by sound every day of his life, turning every tiny moment into a rhythm. He meets and falls for Isabella (Camila Mendes) while navigating pressure from his family and figuring out a way to harness his synesthesia.

Música will premiere at SXSW on March 13, then will be streaming on Prime Video from April 4.
