Estrella, cometa, satélite y planeta

Filmed between Utrera and Palma, this documentary is a tribute to the great Fernando Fernández Jiménez, also known as Fernando Estrella. This versatile and incomparable artist, a member of the famous band Peor Imposible along with Rossy de Palma, a unique icon of the Madrid and Majorcan Movida scene, a great activist for LGBTI rights and the soul of the famous Flexa restaurant in Palma, left an absolutely indelible mark on all who knew him. Estrella appeared in several of Pedro Almodóvar’s films, such as Law of Desire and Kika. And, true to his role as a chef, he was the one who prepared the iconic gazpacho in Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown. Directed by Pedro de Echave, Rossy de Palma’s brother, Estrella, cometa, satélite y planeta gives voice to those who accompanied him until his death in 2023, from Alberto García-Alix to Paco León, as well as Pep Noguera and Joan Bauzà —members of the group Diabéticas Aceleradas—, Pepa Charro (aka La Terremoto de Alcorcón), Lina Estrany, Alfonso Llopart and Eduardo Casanova. The group photo taken at his farewell “hospital” party, shortly before leaving this earth, serves as an almost surreal example of how much he was loved in life.

Rodado entre Utrera y Palma, este documental nos recuerda al grandísimo Fernando Fernández Jiménez, alias Fernando Estrella. Este polifacético e inigualable artista, miembro del famoso grupo Peor Imposible junto con Rossy de Palma, icono irrepetible de la movida madrileña y mallorquina, gran activista de la defensa de los derechos LGTBI y alma del famoso restaurante Flexa de Palma, dejó una huella absolutamente imborrable en todos los que lo conocieron. Estrella participó en algunas películas de Pedro Almodóvar, como La ley del deseo o Kika, y, haciendo honor a su faceta de cocinero, fue él quien preparó el icónico gazpacho de Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios.
