Oscar winner Penélope Cruz teams up with award winning director/writer Fernando Trueba, to create a follow-up story for their 1998 film The Girl of Your Dreams.
Once again, Penélope Cruz plays the successful Spanish actress Macarena Granada, who flees the glitz and glamour of 1950’s Hollywood to return to her roots in Spain. Here she has signed on to star in a prestigious period drama about Queen Isabella the First of Castille.
At the studio, she is reunited with her old friends and colleagues from the filming of The Girl of Your Dreams. When learning that the Franco police has imprisoned their former colleague and director, Blos Fontiveros, Macarena and the rest of the film crew soon become involved in a madcap expedition to free him.
