When a woman steps onto the conductor's podium, she is always one of the first: the first to lead a world-class orchestra, the first to conduct the closing night of London's Proms, the first to win the German Conductor Prize. It seems as though the world of orchestral conducting might finally be ready to change its attitudes toward female conductors.

1975년, 들리는 거라곤 총소리뿐이었던 어느 허름한 차고에 전과 5범 소년을 포함한 11명의 아이들이 모였다. 이들은 총 대신 악기를 손에 들고, 난생 처음 음악을 연주하기 시작했다. 그리고 35년 뒤, 차고에서 열렸던 음악 교실은 베네수엘라 전역의 센터로 퍼져나갔고, 11명이었던 단원 수는 30만 명에 이르렀다. 거리의 아이들에게 새로운 오늘을 선물한 이 프로젝트의 이름은 엘 시스테마! 그 기적 같은 이야기가 펼쳐진다.
