We are immersed in the 1950s, as the film diva Macarena Granada returns from Hollywood to Spain to shoot a US blockbuster entitled The Queen of Spain, where she will breathe life into Isabella I of Castile. In Madrid, not only will she meet up again with her old friends and colleagues from the troupe but she will also have to contend with another dictatorial regime: that of Francisco Franco.
The feature marks the third collaboration between Oscar winners Trueba and Penelope Cruz following their work together on films Belle Epoque (1992) and The Girl Of Your Dreams (1998), the latter serving as a prequel to The Queen Of Spain.

FERNANDO RODRÍGUEZ TRUEBA
Fernando Rodríguez Trueba (1955), is a Spanish book editor, screenwriter, film director and producer.
Trueba’s breakthrough came with a bang. His debut feature, Ópera prima (1980) won the AGIS Award at the Venice Film Festival and Best First Feature Film at Chicago Film Festival. Six years later he would return with Year of Enlightment (1986) which won him the Silver Bear in Berlin. The Mad Monkey (1989) was a major hit winning 6 Goyas, including for best film and best director.
Fernando Trueba became a world recognized figure with the release of his most significant hit Belle Epoque (1992). The film won over 20 awards worldwide, including the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, a BAFTA, a Goya and a nomination at the Berlinale.
In 1998 he also scored a major hit with The Girl of Your Dreams winning another Goya award among many other prizes. The film was also nominated for the Golden Bear at the Berlin Festival.
In the following decade he has managed to conciliate his work with his love for music, in particular Latin Jazz, by dedicating himself to projects where both aspects merge together, such as in the acclaimed documentary Calle 54 (2000), The Shanghai Spell (2002), and more recently in the Oscar nominated animation feature Chico and Rita (2010). He followed that up with The Artist and the Model (2012), which gave him the Silver Seashell for best director at the San Sebastian Film Festival.
As a music producer he has won two Grammy Awards and four Latin Grammy Awards.
