Our take

Mariliendre: Feminine noun. Pejorative. Colloquial. A woman who associates with gay male friendships.
Once the queen of Madrid’s gay nightlife, now a dethroned diva, Meri Román (Mariliendre) is bored with her mediocre present and revisits her past in this exuberant and carefree musical comedy produced by Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi (La Mesias), which takes us into the underbelly of contemporary Madrid parties.
