Elis & Tom: It Had to be You

Elis Regina and Tom Jobim meet in Los Angeles in 1974 to record an album that would become a cornerstone of Brazilian music. The camera captures every rehearsal, every burst of laughter, and every creative debate in the studio. Director Roberto de Oliveira, who orchestrated this meeting, preserved the footage for decades. Nearly fifty years later, the restored reels spring to life, revealing the magic of two geniuses crafting timeless art. This film is more than an archive; it's a vibrant journey into the very heart of the creative process, where pure musical poetry was born.
