Plot
In the tumultuous era of the Spanish Civil War, a motley troupe of Spanish actors, filled with dreams and drenched in passion, find themselves embarking on an unusual journey from the war-torn streets of Spain to the heart of Nazi Berlin. They've been recruited for a unique mission: to collaborate with UFA on the Andalusian musical drama, "The Girl of Your Dreams". Yet, the cinematic glamour is tainted with real-world horrors as they discover they are not just battling the trials of a movie set, but the sinister undercurrents of culture, politics and war.
Under the guidance of the director, Blas Fontiveros, the troupe attempts to navigate the treacherous waters of cinema and politics. But soon, the film set becomes a battleground of its own, rife with jealousies, sexual intrigues and the chilling use of Jewish and Gypsy prisoners as extras to craft an authentic Andalucian facade. Amidst this turmoil, the young ingénue Macarena Granada becomes the focus of the lecherous attention of Reich Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels.
Macarena, desperate to free her father from the iron grip of Franco's jails, finds herself caught in a web of manipulation and deceit. Encouraged by her director and fellow crew members, she is faced with a terrible choice: to submit to Goebbels' advances for the sake of the film and her father's freedom. Yet, in this world where illusion and reality blur, will anyone rise above their selfish motives? Will Macarena find a way to resist the perverse allure of power?
"The Girl of Your Dreams" unfolds as a chilling tale of art and survival, exploring how far individuals are willing to go in the pursuit of their dreams, amidst the brutal backdrop of war. The protagonists' struggle resonates with the eternal human dilemma: the choice between personal desires and moral obligations, revealing the stark reality of the world beyond the silver screen.
