MANU
AND
THE VOCAL CHORDS
Manu’s life flows constantly between her imagination and what is actually happening. The two guitars’ joyful tune, the telepathic relationship with her cat Felix, her mysterious neighbor from the third floor, and that fateful day of her first visit to the dentist – none of them seem to be just another coincidence in her life.
