SILVER

[LA ESTRELLA AZUL]
On the verge of making it big but tired of his meaningless rock 'n' roll lifestyle, Spanish musician and poet Mauricio Aznar (Pepe Lorente, THE CANDIDATE) decides to leave his band behind and heads to Argentina looking for inspiration. In the scenic Northwest of the country, he finds a thriving 1990s folk scene and meets an old master of the genre, Don Carlos (acclaimed musician Cuti Carabajal), in Santiago del Estero. As he puts aside his vices and picks up his guitar, Mauricio comes across a family of musicians who reawaken his passions. Made using real musicians Mauricio crossed paths with in Argentina, Spanish filmmaker Javier Macipe's second feature is a music-filled biopic bursting with heart and authenticity.
