Musical, Drama, Biopic. Directed by Isaki Lacuesta
Just like in 24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE where Manchester was as much of a character as Joy Division, an outburst of cultural effervescence during the 90s placed Granada as the central point of Spanish independent rock and Los Planetas as the pioneering band that guided a movement. Not quite a biopic but focussing on the creative process of the recording of their iconic third album which also took them to NY, director Isaki Lacuesta (ONE YEAR, ONE NIGHT – Berlinale Competition) brings this story of sex, drugs and rock n roll when life was lived at the fullest. Written by Fernando Navarro (VERONICA, BELOW ZERO) the film will bring nostalgia (with international bands such as Teenage Club or My Bloody Valentine in the soundtrack) to those who were fans and will be thoroughly enjoyable in any case to different audiences alike.
