My Heart Goes Boom!

This infectiously joyful journey through the greatest hits of 1970s superstar Raffaella Carrà is a glorious riot of colour and fun. Maria, a glamorous young dancer, heads home to Madrid to mend a broken heart and follow her quest for love and liberation. Her dreams come true when she bursts into the public eye as a TV sensation, bringing colour to the grey Spain of the 1970s, and charting the explosion of censorship that had been imposed by the Franco regime. With a background in music and fashion videos, the director ignites his film with his particular passion for Raffaella’s joyful songs, bringing an irrepressible energy to this musical romcom that is sure to make your heart sing.

We are pleased to welcome writer/director Nacho Álvarez for a Q&A following the screening of Explota explota on Sat 19 Mar.
