Sounds Like Love Movie Storyline. Maca (María Valverde), 30 years old and clumsy by nature, makes the most of life and strives to be happy. Maca’s talent is wasted working as an assistant for an oppressive and terrifying fashion influencer and she spends her time with guys with whom she never manages to establish an emotional bond.
Together with Jimena (Elísabet Casanovas) and Adriana (Susana Abaitúa), her two unique and lovable friends who are always ready to do whatever it takes to make their problems not seem so bad, Maca has managed to make Madrid a city where everything is possible. Everything seems to be going well until he-who-must-not-be-named comes back into her life.
Leo (Alex González), the love and biggest mistake of her life, the man who tore her heart apart, obliterated her self-esteem and her faith in men, comes back into her life to turn everything upside down. Maca has tried to forget him, but now she has to accept that he has returned and face the emotions she has locked away to deal with the unforgettable memory of what could have been and never was. Old wounds are reopened and Maca will have to be brave and confront her conflicts, fears and insecurities in order to finally take control of her life.
Sounds Like Love (Spanish: Fuimos Canciones; lit. ’We Were Songs’) is an upcoming Spanish romantic comedy film directed by Juana Macías [es] from a screenplay by Laura Sarmiento, based on the 2018 novel duology Canciones y recuerdos by Elísabet Benavent [es]. The film stars María Valverde and Álex González and is set to be released on Netflix on September 29, 2021.
On January 30, 2020, it was announced that Netflix had greenlighted an adaptation of Elísabet Benavent’s two-part book series Songs and Memories during a Spanish original programming conference in Madrid.[2] The film began principal photography on October 5, 2020, when it was announced that Juana Macías was attached to direct the film from a screenplay by Laura Sarmiento.
It was also announced that María Valverde and Álex González were cast in lead roles, with Elísabet Casanovas, Susana Abaitúa, Eva Ugarte, and Miri Pérez-Cabrero also set to star in the film alongside Roger Berruezo, Ignacio Montes, Artur Busquets, Claudia Galán, and Carlo Costanzia who were cast in supporting roles. Filming was took place throughout Madrid and Lisbon. By May 2021, the film had completed production, with Benavent stating:
It was very difficult, they had a challenge. They are two books of more than 500 pages and they had to put them together in 90 minutes of film. There are plots that cannot be developed because there is no time and, even so, how they have respected the spirit of each character, how they have collected the most important things to make them shine… I have seen the result and it is incredible.
