Synopsis

"El Langui" portrays Desirée Vila, a Paralympic athlete who turned the loss of a leg into a source of strength, exploring acceptance and a new way of seeing disability.

Juan Manuel Montilla

Popularly known as "El Langui," he is one of the leading figures within the community of people with disabilities. Having lived with cerebral palsy since birth, he has turned personal growth into both a creative engine and a social commitment. A founding musician of the rap group La Excepción, an actor and winner of two Goya Awards, a director, writer, and public speaker, he is currently preparing his first feature-length documentary as a director, while balancing his artistic career with high-level Paralympic sports.
