Estrella, cometa, satélite y planeta

A documentary celebrating the life of Fernando Estrella, a pioneering LGBTI activist and beloved cultural icon. Through testimonies from friends and collaborators, it traces his fearless advocacy, artistic brilliance, and deep impact on queer visibility in Spain—from the Movida Madrileña to his influential presence in Palma. A chef, performer, and actor in Almodóvar’s films, Estrella defied norms and built community, especially through his legendary restaurant, Flexa. The film culminates in the surreal and moving farewell party held just before his death in 2023, a testament to the love he inspired.
