Synopsis

Alma Velasco not only sketches a portrait of the artist who invented the Mariachi genre as we know it but zealously reconstructs the passionate life of the extraordinary woman known as Lucha Reyes. From a childhood spent in poverty and orphanhood to the debut in the fascinating world of big-tops and marquees, successful and disastrous relationships, and triumphs and failures—hers was a life in chiaroscuro. It is also a fast-paced and engaging chronicle of an entire period in Mexican history: the end of the revolution and the beginning of radio, cinema, music and fashion.
