«Wine and music are two human feats.
The possibility of uniting these feats based on the noble material that is wood, crafted by 6 prestigious luthiers, allows us to travel from the reconstruction of Lisbon after 1755 to the modernity of the 21st century through 6 extraordinary guitars.This is the journey that I present to you in this documentary..»
João Fonseca, Força Maior Portugal, 2018
João Fonseca, producer of the Portuguese production company Força Maior, found the project very intriguing. After a brief conversation with Adriano he fell in love with the project and brought Luís Filipe Rocha and the director Helder Faria on board.
Together with a wonderful film crew they created a colorful documentary about the project. Even though hampered by immense challenges due to COVID they managed to visit with all the builders in their workshops and ultimately finished recording in January 2023, when the guitars were united for the first time at the cellar of the palace of the Marquês de Pombal in Oeiras.
