“…surely, the most impressive calling-card film in recent memory.” – Simon Foster, Screen Space

Sailboat brings love and hope to a family who have forged a simple but proud life in the drought ridden Deep South. One afternoon he brings home a “little guitar”. From this moment, Sailboat and his little guitar are inseparable, and when his ill grandmother requests he write a song for her, Sailboat meanders through adversity to deliver the unimaginable – the greatest song ever written.

The Latin-themed sound trackis a key element tothe movie and provides an opportunity for audiences to hear the Grigoryan Brothers like never before.
