What The Things of Love Is About

Madrid in the 1940s, the early years of the Franco regime. Juan plays piano while Pepita and Mario sing on stage. The three of them tour together, the halls fill, their names get known. But what Mario feels for Juan is not returned, and he looks for consolation in other affairs. One of those puts him in real danger. Jaime Chávarri's 1989 film sets copla music against the enforced morality of the period: a life applauded on stage and criminal off it. It is built on what visibility cost in a country where homosexuality was forbidden. Ángela Molina, Manuel Bandera and María Barranco play it.
