Directed by cult filmmaker, the late Ricardo Franco, The Lucky Star constructs a moving and poignant love triangle. Rafael, a good-hearted man who has suffered the amputation of his genitalia in an accident, rescues Marina, a half-blind prostitute, from an attacker. They begin a sentimental relationship that intensifies further when petty criminal Daniel, Marina’s attacker and father of her daughter, is released from prison and harasses the couple. Based on a true story, Franco crafts an intense and intimately passionate drama in which the three metaphorically (and literally) crippled characters struggle to escape their tortured pasts and find hope in a world that seems to have evicted them from happiness. Starring Maribel Verdú (Pan´s Labyrinth, Y Tu Mamá También).
