Franky
BANDERAS
Lettuce (Juan Luis Galiardo), unemployed actor and active clown under the name of “Lechuguete”, lives poorly acting at homes at children’s parties until he fortunately meets Paquito (Raulito), a child singer.
Became his master of declamation and artistic agent, Lechuga initiates the promotion of the child: starts by, baptizing him as “Franky Banderas, the Goldfinch of Madrid” and writes some songs with the collaboration of his son Luis, obsessed with fusing Gregorian and flamenco.
The road to glory and fame is not covered with roses…

Notes by
The Director
It all started with an advertisement in the newspaper: “Priest in crisis available for children’s parties, child care … Gregorian and flamenco.” If it is true that every story consists of putting a mirror along the way, the Iberian stories reflect a bumpy road in a deformed mirror.
Galiardo and Chiquito de la Calzada, the recording houses of neocapitalism and the masseurs, Raulito, the dancing boy and a fairly old fleshy caretaker, flamenco, priests in crisis …
