20 Centímetros (2005)


Marieta (Mónica Cervera) quiere dejar de llamarse Adolfo. Llamarse como su padre y tener los mismos veinte centímetros que él, le produce repelús. Marieta quiere llamarse Marieta y ser una mujer respetada y con todas las de la ley. Sufre de narcolepsia y se queda dormida en el momento menos oportuno. Pero en sus ataques de sueño, que dan origen a los números musicales, Marieta canta maravillosamente y habla idiomas. Marieta es toda una mujer. Él está enamorado de Raúl (Pablo Puyol) que adora su cuerpo sobre todo... que él quiere quitado.

Marieta (Mónica Cervera) does not want to be addressed as Adolfo. To be called in the same way as his father and to have twenty centimeters just like his makes the creeps out of him. He prefers to be called Marieta and be treated and respected as a woman. He suffers from narcolepsy and instantly falls asleep in the least opportune moment. But during his attacks he immediately dreams of elaborate musical extravaganza... that he is the star and sings magnificently in different languages. And she really feels like a total woman. He falls in love with Raúl (Pablo Puyol) who adores his body, most especially... that part of her she wants removed.

20 CENTÍMETROS is another fantabulous offer from Spain. Its very imaginative story staged with outlandish musical performances by the actors themselves is incredibly fun-tastic. An entertainment film that I highly recommend to everyone... straight or not straight... gay or not gay!
