_________________________________________

Manny is poised to be the next Latin urban music star and the first gay reggaetonero to be signed at a major label. While he soundchecks his show at a small club in Miami, a series of events threatens his ascent and forces Manny to confront his own ideas of family relationships, manhood, and Latinidad. Through his songs and actions, we witness in real time what he could be and what he isn't quite yet. "Estrellazo" is a celebration of música urbana and a cautionary tale about the importance of forgiving others and yourself.

In English, with a sprinkle of Spanish.
