Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka
aka: It's my Life -- El Noa Noa 2 This shallow sequel to the 1979 film on the early stages of Alberto Aguilera's musical career continues the story of the singer's mistaken incarceration and glimpses of where his career would go after he is released from jail. As this biographical drama opens, Aguilera (known by his stage name of Juan Gabriel) is framed for a robbery he never committed and is sent to prison. While in prison he entertains the inmates with his music and songs, and the "dreams" he has of his future take up the rest of the time. These sequences introduce excerpts from his successful future and alleviate the time he has to spend in jail. Letters home to mom lie about where he is, since his adoration of his mother would not allow him to tell her the truth about his arrest and conviction, no matter how undeserved.
