VIOLETA WENT TO HEAVEN

Violeta is Violeta Parra, Chilean singer and one of the most relevant figures in the history of Latin-American folklore, whose life is recreated in this intense and fascinating biopic which does not follow a classical chronological order, but instead jumps around, from one key episode to another with no clear connecting thread. The soundtrack is exceptional and the interpretation by Francisca Gavilán (who, in addition, personally sings Parra’s songs), is unforgettable.

‘Violeta went to heaven’ tells the path of Chilean Violeta Parra, mother of Latin American Folk, tracing her evolution from impoverished child to international sensation and pop culture icon, while capturing the swirling intensity of her life.
