With an 'Almodovarian' twist and the flamboyance of The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, director Ramón Salazar's 20 Centimeters tells the story of Marieta (Mónica Cervera) a narcoleptic, transsexual who longs to get rid of 8 inches (20 centimeters) of equipment that separates her from being the glamorous woman she dreams to be. When she accidentally falls asleep, usually in the most inopportune times, Marieta's dreams become lavish and colorful musical numbers, where as a real woman she can sing in Spanish, French & English. So cue up the lights, powder that face and slip on that sexy gown because Marieta's dreams are about to come true... Multi-talented star, Mónica Cervera made her North American debut in Álex de la Iglesia's Perfect Crime which had a theatrical release in 2005. Her unique look and ability to sing in various musical styles and performs Queen's 'I Want to Break Free' and Madonna's 'True Blue' adds additional pizzazz to this already comic and frothy Spanish import.
