Description
Fill Me With Life: David (Unax Ugalde, Volveras) is an urban poet and a drug dealer in the making, a young man so fed up with convention that one day he decides to live in the street, getting by any which way he can. Then he discovers María (Pilar López de Ayala, Juana La Loca). Anxious to break with her run-of-the-mill existence, it isn't long before María is in the street with David. Together they seek independence, but are soon trapped in an abyss of drugs and prostitution that eventually devours them. In this adaptation of the novel by Daniel Valdés starring GOYA award-winning actress Pilar López de Ayala, the true harshness of street life comes alive when freedom is the only possession you have. BÁILAME EL AGUA: Un drama urbano de amor y marginalidad, drogas y caídas al abismo. Eso ofrece el segundo largometraje de Josetxo San Mateo que se inicia cuando David, un chico que vive en la calle por vocación, se enamora a primera vista de María. Un día se decide a abordarla y le entrega un poema que ha escrito para ella: Báilame el agua. Ella no duda en seguirlo. Pero vivir en la calle no es fácil: las malas compañías, la droga, la delincuencia, incluso la prostitución se convertirán en compañeras de camino. La libertad es lo único que posees.

Product Description
Spain released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada. Languages: o English (subtitles) o Spanish (Dolby Digital 5.1) Synopsis: A Love story from the streets, beautifully made: This Spanish drama takes an unblinking look at the grim realities of life among Madrid's economically and spiritually underprivileged underclass. David (Unax Ugalde) is a homeless man struggling to get by with the help of his friends: dope-dealing Carlos (Juan Diaz), cheerful but misguided Abundio (Fede Celada), and half-bright Titanlux (Benjamin Seva). One day, David meets a beautiful woman, Maria (Pilar Lopez de Ayala), and is immediately smitten. He sets out to earn her affections, and as Maria is charmed by David's ardor (as well as his poetry), she quits her job at a diner to be with him. David and Maria move in to Carlos' apartment, but Carlos' girlfriend Elena (Beatriz Sanchez) is not at all happy with their presence and asks them to leave. Desperate to earn some money, David makes the acquaintance of Facundo (Antonio Dechent), a high-level drug dealer who supplies Carlos with his product. Facundo recruits David as a new salesman and he starts pushing heroin on the streets, quickly making enough money to afford an apartment for Maria and himself. But Maria is eager to make some extra money of her own, and when she meets Veronica (Beatriz Arguello), a prostitute living in their building, she follows her lead and is soon turning tricks on the side; when David finds out about her new career, he soon turns to heroin to ease his heartbreak. Bailame El Agua's soundtrack features the song "But By Your Side" by Los Secretos, grimly ironic, since vocalist Enrique Urquijo, who helped write the song, died of a drug overdose by the time the film appeared in Spanish theaters. Special Features: o Commentary o Filmographies o Interactive Menu o Photo Gallery o Posters o Scene Access o Trailer(s)
