Quién te cantará

Dir. Carlos Vermut · France, Spain · Spanish

A statement-making movie from a promising director

Our take by Bilal Zouheir

In this unique Spanish drama-thriller, a famous 90s popstar called Lila loses her memory and forgets how to perform. A big fan of hers, Violeta, is offered the unique opportunity of helping her idol find herself again.

Quién te cantará, which translates to “who will sing to you” is a fascinating exploration of fandom and the relationship between fan and idol. And it definitely doesn’t hurt that Lila’s music, made specifically for the movie, is fantastic!

It’s from a promising new Spanish director, Carlos Vermut. His last movie, Magical Girl, was widely acclaimed and won awards in almost every festival it showed in.

What happens

Lila, a famous retired singer, loses her memory after suffering an accident, just as she planned her return to the stage.
