The 20th Morelia International Film Festival (FICM) was attended by musician, composer, singer, producer, activist, and founder of the band Café Tacvba, Rubén Albarrán, who performed  together with the Pérez Prado Orchestra on the red carpet of El sueño de ayer (2022), directed by Mexican director Emilio Maillé

“Thank you very much for joining us in this very special festival. We were years ago with Rosario Tijeras (2005) and it's really nice to be here again with this film, which is a kind of a musical dramatic frenzy", said director Emilio Maillé, about his most recent work, before beginning the screening.

The film tells the story of Cuban musician Dámaso Pérez Prado, who comes back to life in Mexico City 30 years after his death to find the love of his life, Magdalena. The problem is that he is dead, time is running out, no one remembers him, and there are only confused memories of the past living in his head.
