Maysa: Quando Fala o Coração (English: Maysa - When the heart sings) is a Brazilian miniseries that was produced by Rede Globo, written by Manoel Carlos and directed by Jayme Monjardim.

Maysa - When the Heart Sings, tells the story of Brazilian singer Maysa, who at 17 years of age, full of dreams and hopes, marries the love of her life: André Matarazzo, the powerful businessman with whom she has her only son Jayme (who directs the series). The marriage, however, doesn't endure the demands of her career, just as the relationship between mother and son is undermined.[1]

Plot

At seventeen, filled with dreams and hopes, Maysa marries the love of her life, Andre Matarazzo, an industry titan with whom she has her only son, Jayme Monjardim.

The strictness of life in the family mansion, however, contrasts with the festive and artistic environment in which she grew up. Despite Andre’s opposition, Maysa’s superb voice lands her an invitation to record an album, and her music becomes an instant success. Maysa’s new, demanding career results in the collapse of her marriage and takes a toll on her relationship with Jayme. In search of professional achievement, she risks everything and immerses her body and soul into singing. She earns standing ovations while crisscrossing the globe. Once divorced, she engages in turbulent relationships. She breaks taboos and defies conventions. And she dies tragically and prematurely. Maysa - when the heart sings: the story of a woman ahead of her time, who gave herself to life and to love with the same intensity as she composed and performed.[2]
