"Leading Role" is a captivating movie that follows the story of Aurora Guerra, a successful actress who rose to fame in the teen series "The Chosen Ones." Aurora's parents, Irene and Julio, played a significant role in her success by ensuring she got the part in the series. However, the audition process was not as straightforward as it seemed. Irene, who recognized that the decision was between Aurora and another girl, used her influence to manipulate the casting director in Aurora's favor.
The other girl who auditioned was Lucia, who shared the same dream as Aurora - to become a successful actress. Lucia applied for the casting, but she soon discovered Irene's scheme and confronted her. The confrontation led to a heated argument between the two, which resulted in Lucia having a severe accident that left her with physical disabilities and ended her chances of becoming an actress. Twenty years later, Lucia is determined to seek revenge on Aurora, not realizing that she is a victim of Irene's manipulations.
The movie explores themes of jealousy, manipulation, and revenge, as Lucia seeks to reclaim what she believes Aurora took from her. Lucia's desire for revenge is understandable, given the circumstances that led to her physical disabilities. However, as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Aurora is not the enemy but rather a victim of her mother's schemes. The movie is a reminder that sometimes, what appears to be the truth is far from it, and that revenge is not always the answer. Overall, "Leading Role" is a compelling movie that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats, eager to discover the outcome of Lucia's quest for revenge.
