Venice, 1800. The Sant'Ignazio institute for girls is preparing for a visit by Pope Pius VII. Chapel master Perlina insists on composing a new piece of music, but is creatively blocked. Five talented girls want to help and are secretly working on their own piece of music that is very progressive for the time. Perlina doesn't want to be part of it at all. But the day of the high visit is getting closer and closer and he has nothing on paper yet.

Gloria! is the directorial debut of Margherita Vicario, who is a well-known actress and singer-songwriter in Italy and composed and sang several songs for the film herself. An energetic costume drama that pays a rousing tribute to the numerous female composers who have fallen into oblivion. A treat for the eye as well as the ear.
