Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka

This drama tells the true and quite unbelievable story of popular Mexican singer Jose Sosa, played by himself. Known by fans as "Jose Jose," the singer came from a poor family and rose from rags to riches simply because of his talent. Although he fell in love with a wonderful woman, Anel (Cristian Bach) he succumbed to alcohol, drugs, and the pressures of too much success. As he went downhill, he married someone else, a mistake from the start. After nothing is left of his career and he is in the hospital fighting off a diseased liver, Anel comes back and their old flame re-ignites. The rest of the story is deservedly legendary. Fifteen of Jose Sosa's songs are on the soundtrack.
