Reminiscent of the outrageous early films of Almodvar this ebullient farce is a smorgasbord of hot men and raucous comedy with a sassy Spanish flavor! Sinfully handsome Victor is a real estate agent in Madrid's expanding candy-colored 'gaybourhood'. But Victor hides a wicked little secret - he murders old ladies then flips their flats to gorgeous upwardly-mobile men. When bearish couple Rey and Leo inherit the latest victim's abode they move Rey's saucy-mouthed mother in. But the aging diva doesn't fit Victor's vision of the ultimate gay paradise and now it's up to an eccentric detective and her sexually confused son to uncover the scheme.
With an 'Almodovarian' twist and the flamboyance of The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert director Ramn Salazar's 20 Centimetres tells the story of Marieta (Mnica Cervera) a narcoleptic transsexual who longs to get rid of 8 inches of equipment that separates her from being the glamorous woman she dreams to be. When she accidentally falls asleep in the most inopportune times Marieta's dreams become lavish and colorful musical numbers where as a real woman she can sing in Spanish French & English. So cue up the lights powder that face and slip on that sexy gown because Marieta's dreams are about to come true... Nominated for the Golden Leopard award at the 2005 Locarno International Film Festival.
