Overview
Nieves Herrero vuelve a la historia contemporánea para relatar la pasión que vivieron Luis Miguel Dominguín y Ava Gardner. Una relación a la que ninguno de los dos pudo resistirse.
Era la primavera de 1953 y todo invitaba a pensar que lo peor de la posguerra había pasado. En el aeropuerto de Barajas se agolpaba una multitud esperando a la estrella más admirada del momento: Ava Gardner. Llegaba a Madrid después del largo rodaje de Mogambo, a las órdenes de John Ford. Necesitaba encontrarse a sí misma.
Su amigo Howard Hughes le solía decir que fama y amor eran incompatibles y sus tres maridos, Mikey Rooney, Artie Shaw y ahora Frank Sinatra, lo confirmaban. Eran sus tres grandes fracasos. Solo deseaba olvidar.
Una noche se cruza en su camino Luis Miguel Dominguín, el torero del momento. Sus miradas se cruzaron y, en ese momento, supieron que acabarían juntos. Ambos eran famosos, guapos, jóvenes y, sobre todo, apasionados y libres.
Así fue también su historia.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Nieves Herrero returns to contemporary history to relate the passionate affair between Luis Miguel Dominguín and Ava Gardner. A relationship neither of them could resist.
It was the spring of 1953, and everything led to believe the worst of the postwar era was over. At Barajas Airport, a crowd had gathered to receive the most admired film star of the time: Ava Gardner. She had come to Madrid after the long shoot of Mogambo, under John Ford.
She needed to find herself. Her friend Howard Hughes used to say that fame and love were incompatible, and her three husbands, Mikey Rooney, Artie Shaw, and now Frank Sinatra, confirmed it. They were her three big flops. She only wished to forget.
One evening, Luis Miguel Dominguín, the matador of the hour, crosses her path. Their eyes met, and at that moment, they knew they would be together. They were both famous, good looking, young, and, above all, ardent and free. So was their story.
