Until We Die

🎞️ Movie 30 min NL
2015

Zorita makes bittersweet music. Melancholic but still with swing; serious intense and exuberant at the same time. The same contrasts can be found in Carlos, the founder of the band. Carlos is a timid, silent but independent person. With his passion for music he founded his dream band six years ago. Nine men. All playing a different instrument, a different character and a different role in the group. Where some want to hang out with the other band members all the time, others prefer to be alone. As a band leader the biggest concern of Carlos is if he can keep everybody rowing in the same direction. A tough job with a team of nine men. Nevertheless they all want the same thing in the end: make people dance with their passion for music. All these different characters know how to point their energy in the same direction to convince any audience. To go on tour sounds like a magnificent musical and romantic adventure. To some extent this is true, but there is much more to it. During the vast majority of the 'adventure' you hardly sleep, sit in a car, and wait endlessly between sound check and the start of the show. But that shouldn't spoil the sense of adventure: exciting unknown places and meeting new people. With their instruments as a means for communication tool in a country that turns out to be completely different than sweet home Amsterdam. In a nutshell, a short documentary about the eight-piece band Zorita, touring abroad for the first time. Wild parties alternate with intense moments of music making. Is Zorita a band with a common mission as Carlos would wish? Is everybody really heading in the same direction? Or is everyone there for his own pleasure? How will Zorita be received by the British people? And ... will they make their breakthrough in England? Above all this is a film in which you get to know the band members one by one. You live and grow with them during the tour. Friendships are deepened and put to the test. With music as a thread that links them all, it shows how nine men conquer new territory with their shared passion. Until They Die.
