This is a very special night for Sara: she has decided to lose her virginity once and for all. Having tricked her parents into thinking that she’s going to study at a friend’s house, she heads for the eye of the ‘movida Madrileña’: ‘El Calentito’.
A punky, unusual group is playing on the small stage: Las Siux. One of its three members, Chus, is leaving for personal and artistic differences with the other two, Leo and Carmen. And she couldn’t have chosen a worse time: the next day they’ve got an interview with an executive at the record company with which they hope to make their first record.
Sara finally joins the group, which commits itself with the recording company to giving a concert ten days hence. The famous day arrives. And with it, something that radically changes the scene: soldiers have assaulted the House of Commons. Will Las Siux be able to give their concert?
El Calentito está ambientada a principios de los años 80, una época llena de optimismo y energía renovadora. La trama se centra en la historia de “Las Siux”, un grupo punk de chicas que prepara un concierto para una discográfica que parece interesada en grabarles su primer disco.
Todo se complica la noche del concierto al producirse el golpe de Estado del 23-F. Con una excelente selección musical del momento, esta película trata de acercarnos a una época crucial de nuestra historia en la que imperaba el cambio y la liberalización a todos los niveles.
