Sinopsis
(Vanguard Cinema)
The directorial debut from
Miguel
Santesmases,
La Fuente
Amerilla (aka
The Yellow
Fountain) is a romantic thriller that also examines the harsh, often
violent realities of life in Spain's Chinese community. Lola (Silvia
Abascal) is half-Chinese and half-Spanish and no stranger to misfortune.
She watched her mother and father die in an incident with Chinese gangsters,
and her boyfriend recently shot himself to death while playing Russian
roulette. Lola meets a new beau, a charming but shy young man named Sergio (Eduardo
Noriega), and he agrees to help her as she tries to discover the truth
about the death of her parents. While
Eduardo Noriega
here portrays Sergio as a quiet, bookish sort with a speech impediment, in
Spain he's a major matinee idol who accepted this role as a chance to play
against type. |
