About<\/h2>\n

What is a song, and what is its power? Last(<\/span>ing<\/span>) Music explores these questions through the story of Kari, a 49-year-old woman receiving palliative care, and her relationship with the song The Boy from Ipanema, as sung by Ella Fitzgerald. Based on music therapy research, the film traces Kari\u2019s experiences with this song, showing how music can stay with us by holding memories, emotions, and our sense of self across time.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>The film offers a gentle reflection on the role of music at the end of life, and how songs can sustain relationships and self-expression in moments when illness begins to isolate and silence us.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
