Alejandra Podestá

In an Argentine village in the 1930s, the willful Leonor discovers that her beloved daughter, Charlotte, has dwarfism. Attempting to let her have as normal a childhood as possible, Leonor never discusses Charlotte's lack of stature, nor lets anyone else in the village ever mention it. As Charlotte grows up into a smart and self-possessed young woman, local eccentric Ludovico, who collects miniatures, becomes smitten with her.

"For her next movie, De eso no se habla, María Luisa Bemberg needs a dwarf". That was an ad on local media during the pre-production of the movie that would become the director's last. Among the people who responded to the ad was Alejandra Podestá, who ended up getting the leading role alongside Marcello Mastroianni. Through testimonies of various friends, members of the crew, and the words of Alejandra herself, who was brutally murdered in 2011, A Beautiful Dream tells us the story of the making of the film and the relationship between Bemberg and Podestá, which winds up being a tribute to both women.

After being scorned out of her small hometown, Aurora returns as a millionaire to exact revenge on those who humiliated and ostracized her.
