Quién te cantará
In den Neunzigern war Lila Cassen die erfolgreichste Sängerin Spaniens. Dann verschwand sie aus der Öffentlichkeit, von einem Tag auf den anderen. Zehn Jahre später bereitet Lila nun ein triumphales Comeback vor; doch kurz zuvor hat sie einen Unfall und verliert ihr Gedächtnis. Violetas Alltag ist komplett ihrer aggressiven Tochter Marta unterworfen. Nur Abends fühlt sie sich frei, wenn sie in einer Karaokebar als Lila-Cassen-Imitatorin auftritt. Eines Tages bekommt sie ein faszinierendes Angebot: Violeta soll der echten Lila beibringen, wieder Lila zu sein - ein düster-verwickelter Thriller in Almodovar-Tradition über einen Popstar und seinen größten Fan.
A super fan of a popular singer's best case scenario is to meet their hero and be acknowledged by them, perhaps getting a backstage pass attached to their ticket to a show. Quién te Cantará flips the fan-superstar-relationship on its head: The famous singer has to reach out to her biggest fan for help.§Quién te Cantará is an original take on the ultra fans' relationship with their idol. At one point during practice, Lila asks Violeta if she had thought of this moment alone with her in her house before and if how she imagined it going. The answer pales in comparison to what actually occurs on screen. (Francis McKay, Flickhunter)
