Quién te Cantará

59th TIFF: Greek Premiere

A successful Spanish singer gets ready to return to the limelight after a decade of mysterious silence, but on the eve of her great concert she loses her memory in an accident. Violeta, a karaoke singer who feels redeemed from her sad life every time she performs Cassen’s music on stage, commits to reminding the star the scope of her legendary persona, by teaching her to sing from scratch. A polyphonic chant about identity transformations and the faces we show to the few and the many, haunting like a catchy refrain and feeding the soul like any form of true art.
