The Blue Star

In the rolling nineties, Mauricio, a famous Spanish rock musician, travels to Latin America in a desperate attempt to rekindle the flame of his passion for music. During his journey, he meets Don Carlos, a veteran musician going through hard times who kindly takes in the strange visitor, acting as his musical master Miyagi. Their unexpected encounter leads to an odd musical alliance that, although it has all the makings of a total commercial failure, will mark the beginning of an unforgettable Quixote-like adventure.

Reviews

How much affection has Macipe invested in his first feature; a beautiful, emotional film where pain and melancholy are present, and above all, the healing and universal power of music. (Carmen L. Lobo: Diario La Razón)
