Memo lives on a remote Chilean sheep farm, hiding a beautiful singing voice from the outside world. A recluse with a glittery flair, he can't stop dwelling on the past, but what will happen once someone finally listens?

Pretty good, I was into <em>'Nobody Knows I’m Here'</em>.
I wouldn't class it as anything spectacular, though I thought it did a solid job at bringing its story to life. There's a strong lead performance from Jorge Garcia as Memo; a character that kept giving me Quasimodo of <em>'<a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/the-hunchback-of-notre-dame-1996/" rel="nofollow">The Hunchback of Notre Dame</a>'</em> vibes, but perhaps that's just a lazy comparison on my part. He has a nice <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zilGkHD6tc" rel="nofollow">musical number</a> too.
All in all, though not perfect or anything close, this produced what I wanted it to so I'm personally happy with it.
