It's My Life

Original title: Es mi vida
 


Director:Gonzalo Martínez Ortega

Writer:Gonzalo Martínez Ortega

Stars:Luis Arcaraz Jr., Fernando Balzaretti , César Bono And juan gabriel As hinself



It tells to the history of the singer and Mexican composer Alberto Aguilera Valadez better known like Juan Gabriel, in prison by a crime that did not commit its musical talent I help it to survive in the jail
After the success of "El Noa Noa" a sequel was made, and while it isn't as good, it still pretty entertaining, featuring plenty of sad moments.

In this sequel, Alberto is accused of stealing some things from a lady's house and is sent to prison. Of course, he didn't do it, but nonetheless they convict him. He desperately does whatever he can to hide it from his family and friends.

This is also filled with musical numbers, but they aren't as good. At first I was very disappointed that Meche Carreno wasn't back, but to my surprise, her and the other hookers make a cameo appearance half-way through the movie
