The Queen of Spain
Lights. Camera. Distraction.
Directed by Fernando Trueba
Produced by Fernando Trueba PC, Atresmedia Cine
A playful, nostalgic comedy about a glamorous actress navigating the collision of Hollywood ambition, historical drama, and the political tensions of 1950s Spain.
After her experiences in Nazi Germany, actress Macarena Granada traveled to Hollywood, where she became a star. In the 1950s, the diva returns to Francoist Spain to star a Hollywood blockbuster about Queen Isabella I of Castile. (A sequel to The Girl of Your Dreams, 1998.)
