Under the Stars Bajo las estrellas

A melancholy and moving trumpet serenade which buries itself deep into the soul. That’s what the film about a few weeks in the life of the trumpet-player Benny ends up being. He plays a lot, sleeps very little and often has too many bottles of wine. Although he is living out his vocation, it’s a hard life, where ambition and temptation are fighting for his attention. Benny is reluctant to go back to his small home town in northern Spain when his father dies, since their relationship has never been very close. Here, he lands in the middle of a conflict between his sensitive artist brother, the brother’s girlfriend and her daughter. It turns out that the girlfriend and Benny crossed each other’s paths 10 years earlier, and even though the attraction was mutual, nothing further happened. The brother is a recovered alcoholic making large and heavy iron sculptures, which nobody values. The past and the present collide, and Benny starts out on a quest to find meaning in his life as a musician. The film sparkles, through Alberto San Juan’s brilliant performance in the lead role and, not least, through the music, the depiction of a life lived to the full and the film’s narrative. It is exceptionally sensual and feels like a piece of free Jazz with Latin beats. Félix Viscarret’s convincing debut as a director is rounded off by a sparklingly beautiful rendition of Stella By Starlight, played by the Flamenco master Enrique Moriente.
Félix Viscarret
Born 1975 in Pamplona, Spain, he has studied film at William Patterson University in New Jersey. He was awarded a special prize for his first short, Dreamers, at the Berlin Film Festival in 1999. He has since written and directed three shorts before making his feature debut with Under the Stars (2007), which was very well received in Spain.
Monday the 23rd the director Félix Viscarret will introduce the film.
