Under the creative direction of Marcelo Antunez and a stunning and unforgettable cast (Lucas Lucco, Carla Diaz, Felipe Hintze), “ZERO TO HERO” is a classic musical romantic comedy based on the life of a rock star who went from slums to sisterhood overnight.
The Portuguese inspirational Zero to Hero film follows the life of a man named Hero, who is a small artist with an unstable income. Due to his low and unstable income and strong desire for commercialization, he became trapped in debt.
His streak of life turns into a shocking incident when he gets a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to impersonate Brazil’s greatest country singer Sander Sanderlei, who falls into a coma due to a tragic event. And since Hero looks exactly like him,
He was allowed to perform as himself and complete the artist’s remaining events and tours. Hero always dreamed of performing as the biggest rock star, and when he got the chance, he couldn’t believe his eyes.
Moments take an interesting turn when Hero falls in love with Sandra’s ex-girlfriend. Hero puts on the Sandro persona to get closer to his ex-girlfriend, but things get complicated when she starts to resent him for the singer’s unwitting antics.
The hero struggles to balance his principles and identity with the changes that come with huge fame, even as he plays in lavish venues and receives unheard-of levels of affection and attention.
Sarcastic humor to confirm the whereabouts of the film that was originally adapted is interspersed with the story. Due to scheduling issues, South Korean pop artist Lee Seung-hyun was unable to attend the 2007 concert. To fool the many fans in attendance, his management organization hired a doppelgänger to appear on stage in his place.
As for Hero replacing Sandro Sanderlei in the Zero to Hero film, the plot reflects the extent to which real artists and their management go to great lengths to keep performances or fulfill contractual obligations, especially during major concert events.
