Lali: La que le gana al tiempo (2025) Movie Script

This week,
the weather really had me worried.
And look! The sky looks so beautiful.
Today's the big night at Vlez.
Am I a little freaked out? Yes.
But I'm really excited too.
What do you think about it?
Are you nervous?
VLEZ SARSFIELD
JOS AMALFITANI STADIUM
Can't I roll the window down here?
- A little, like, when we move forward.
- When he says yes, sure.
Come on, man!
I love you!
VLEZ STADIUM
I remember her first show
at La Trastienda.
When only 200 people believed in her.
So here we are again,
with more than 80,000 people.
They've been camping for a month. A month!
Unconditional
When she first launched into music,
she bet it all on a dream,
and made it real.
Through her music, she represents
the love we need today, and always has.
He's my fan, he drives me crazy
All night he dreams about me
And touches himself, na, na...
After a long time, I'm back on stage.
Now that I am 33,
I'm asking myself a lot of questions.
A lot has happened.
I'm not the same, yet I am the same.
Hi. I'm very bored, very tired.
Look at my dark circles. Close-up.
Growing up for me was different
because I started working at a young age.
I grew up used to being in the public eye.
This is a message for my family.
I love you very much, and I miss you.
There comes a time
when that public persona,
without you even noticing it
because you're so young,
ends up just taking over,
making you believe thats all you are.
You are always wishing you had more
and are invited to wish endlessly.
Hi!
You are forced into this hazy circuit,
making you wonder who the real you is.
I started asking myself the question
I hadn't asked myself for 10 years.
Why am I doing this?
I needed to do something
that helped me understand
whether I was on the right path,
because maybe it wasn't.
I am an Argentine woman.
I am an artist.
I am my evolution, my search, my learning.
But I definitely am not,
nor will I ever be,
what others want me to be.
LALI: TIME TO STEP UP
FOUR YEARS EARLIER
WE ARE IN SEPTEMBER 2021.
LALI'S LIFE IS SPLIBETWEEN MADRID AND BUENOS AIRES.
SHE HAS HAD HER MUSIC CAREER
ON HOLD FOR OVER A YEAR.
OCT. 2021, LALI'S HOUSE
I have to go to Spain.
I'm going to pack my suitcase.
I'm leaving in a minute.
I don't have anything ready.
It's winter over there.
Boots, sweats, coat,
little coat, jacket, little jacket.
And this one, we don't know
if it's Michael Jackson or Minguito.
- But it was all of this.
- No, but more like boys' clothes.
BELTRN
NEPHEW
No, but that's Santino.
- That's him.
- Is that Santino?
- What are you filming, asshat?
- He's going that way.
Hey, a few words before I go.
I want to record it.
MAJO
MOTHER
Hooray!
I'm going to miss you so much this time.
Aw.
Aunt Ani?
Baby, I'll miss you so much,
but I'll tidy up your house.
ANALA
AUNBecause... let's show this.
When Aunt Ani comes, these things happen.
She labels everything.
How much will you miss me, one to ten?
Don't just say ten.
9.5.
That's a lot, huh?
SANTINO
NEPHEW
You told me not to say ten.
- I love you.
- I love you too. A lot.
Me too.
Who's the good one?
You have to be a bit of an escapist.
I think I unconsciously
used my job as an excuse to escape.
And it was clear I needed to leave behind
the person I'd always been,
the person I'd been
almost as far back as I can remember.
And I felt that at that moment,
particularly in Spain, it was,
"Hey, I have left myself behind."
Your artistic persona is going full speed,
but then there's this part of you
who is totally lost.
Well, hi, friends.
In today's show,
we'll talk about impossible wigs.
Toupees this way, wigs that way.
I'm Soldn. I'm Silvio Soldn.
What was I going to do all alone
in a house that wasn't mine,
with decor that wasn't mine,
without the comfort
of having my mom around,
without my long-time friends?
Canaries!
Then I'm at a bar, nobody knows me,
and someone goes, "So, what do you do?"
I was like,
"I'm an actress, and I also sing."
Realizing everything I do.
And then reinforcing my profession
and my professional self, let's say.
I was having fun being an actress
while the singer in me wondered
what the hell she wanted to be, you know?
I was in a relationship when I left.
And then the pandemic hit,
and it made me say,
"I need to free this person
and free myself."
I mean, for me,
it was a sequence of events
that pushed me toward the idea
of a different me, a freer me,
experimenting sexually and emotionally.
I needed to tell myself that.
Of course I can fall in love with a woman.
Of course I can travel deeper
in my sexual exploration.
And I can portray that in a song.
I'm surprising them.
You totally freaked out!
You're here...
Hey.
Hey.
Pipi.
What a shock.
- What, the shock I gave you?
- It was terrible, yeah.
What did you think for a moment?
- That you had gone nuts?
- That I was dreaming.
A dreamed-of diva
Who can blame me?
I come from another galaxy
And when I step into the club, yeah
Everyone starts to...
I'm every bit the diva I thought I'd be
I dance like Britney, dress like Cher
Hey! Everyone wants to imitate her
Dining at the embassy in a miniskirt
Climbing to the top without an elevator
Because you're born to shine, babe
Pipi!
Kiss me, damn it.
It's my real thing,
hope I've done my real thing.
AFTER TIME AWAY FROM MUSIC,
LALI CHOOSES TO GO BACK TO THE STUDIO.
Yeah, totally.
Here we go.
NOV. 2021 - RECORDING STUDIO
- Let's go again.
- Can't hear you.
Let's put it in again...
With that clearer idea.
What do you want? Gotcha!
Back off.
- That's ours!
- Yeah.
Inside.
MAURO - MUSIC PRODUCER
GALN - COMPOSER
- What do I do to have it like that?
- No, relax.
So don't bust my balls, Mauro.
It's November 2021.
Last year, around this time,
I released my latest and fourth album,
called Libra.
Making four albums is no joke.
I mean,
you need to devote your life to it.
I turned 30,
and suddenly, I started feeling weird,
like I'd finished a cycle
of one way of working,
which was about listening more
to who you had to work with,
going to certain studios,
traveling to places to work.
And I was facing a dilemma.
"Why am I making music?"
I also act, have other jobs
and projects going on...
So I asked myself why I was doing it.
We could also add in an electric,
kind of grunge, down...
Just making songs here.
Wait. Go to the last one,
and Santino shows up.
At the beginning,
I always liked the idea of having guitar...
I started to realize
that I needed to connect a little bit
with the naturalness in the studio,
with the flow.
My hand, the signal.
Na-na-na-na, of the intensity
If I see it, I take it, if dah-da-dah
- Got it?
- Yeah.
- Right.
- Try to throw in lyrics.
Exactly.
We decided to work like this in a studio
that's a home, with no pretensions,
without the pressure
of releasing music because you have to,
because now artists
release new music all the time.
- Listen to me.
- I am listening.
- I'd like to do a compact.
- A compact?
- I mean...
- You are making a compact.
THE RECORDING
OF HER FIFTH STUDIO ALBUM BEGINS
- Respect it! You're making a compact.
- I am.
Okay, let's do one.
I was left...
Can I double it? It's such a dead voice.
- Sure.
- Okay.
I know that when he moves the fingers
He's got us under control
Commander of the movement...
It was like shuffling and dealing again.
Like, "What do I want?
What music speaks to me?"
"What do I have to say today
about things I've lived through recently?"
"What do I want my songs to be about?
What do I want my sound to be?"
It's a demo, Pipi, okay? It's not done.
Attention
Firm
On your knees begging me for a lesson
And these songs,
"Disciplina," "Diva," "Como T,"
are the result of a proposal,
of a, "This is who I am today."
I mean, the Lali I am today
is represented by this music.
This is how we work now.
I lost interest in the most common emotion
I want something stronger
This is the music I want to make.
This is the show that I dream about.
And I feel like this is the music that
a huge audience wants to listen to.
There's no one like you
WHILE THE NEW ALBUM TAKES SHAPE,
LALI PREPARES HER RETURN TO THE STAGE.
SHE HASN'T PERFORMED LIVE
IN OVER TWO YEARS.
Look at the field. It just blows my mind.
It just blows my mind.
There are no chairs.
You'll crush it tomorrow.
Sorry.
Thanks to you.
- It'll be worth it.
- I'm almost in tears. Love you.
- I saw you in Crdoba, in Mendoza.
- Right.
Not here yet.
Stand over there.
Stand there, crouch down.
All of you.
LUNA PARK STADIUM
It's not good to get too close
to the audience over there.
I could do an outfit change.
- Listen, you kind of made that...
- Right on.
MAY 2022, PRE-PRODUCTION OFFICE
Let's fix it.
It's fine to arrive at that moment.
The order I have,
the only thing I changed is, like...
"Eclipse," "Asesina," "Tu Novia,"
"Fascinada,"
"Somos Amantes," "Bailo Pa' M."
- Look, huh?
- We did all these for you.
Look, Bravo, this piece.
- What?
- This one.
Come on.
Whenever you want.
- Ready?
- Let's go.
I bring everything the night brings
MAY 2022, BAND REHEARSAL
Let it wrap around you without reproach
I'm expensive, I'm your splurge
The owner of your head
The light that comes through your window
So powerful, you can't see anything else
- That?
- Okay.
Okay, that would be all.
That's everything we've done so far.
Pauli, we're heading out.
- You coming?
- Yeah, let's go.
But I'm asking Pauli, you want to?
While dancing, I'm not eating.
When I finish, I'll eat something.
An apple, sure.
We can go to Pinchi's and eat something.
Oh, you can't be happy
With so many people talking
Talking all around you
Oh, give your love to me
I'm speaking, speaking
Speaking to your heart
MAY 2022, CHOREOGRAPHY REHEARSAL
DENISE
CHOREOGRAPHER
Go, and...
Present!
Come forward.
Drama, drama, drama.
I'm your killer
I'm your killer
I'm your killer
And without me singing. Without singing.
I don't know how I'll do it.
I'm...
I'm feeling the tension.
I'm kind of not sure what to say.
I waited a long time for this show.
I dreamed it a thousand times.
I think it's the most
show-like show I've ever done.
I feel, honestly,
I feel...
daring.
And...
I know I have the power.
I have it, I know I have it.
I know this is my thing.
I know it. First show of two.
Start of the Disciplina Tour.
It starts like this.
JUNE 23, 2022, LUNA PARK STADIUM
THE "DISCIPLINA TOUR" BEGINS
Let's stick to what we know is real.
We know everything. You know the songs.
If something happens, it happens.
We know the choreography.
If something happens, it happens.
But what cannot happen
is that we do not enjoy ourselves.
It's a megashow.
This is an amazing chance.
People need to feel alive and happy.
And that's our job.
Dis-ci-pli-na!
FOR THE FIRST TIME,
SONGS FROM HER FIFTH ALBUM ARE PERFORMED
Not sure how long it takes
for this platform to go down,
but I think it'd be cool
if "Eclipse" starts as it's coming down.
I'm your killer
You can't imagine what I am
No. I mean, the cut is...
- Like you keep playing, but then stop it.
- Yeah.
Choreos are built on the arrangements.
So it's the...
I'm your killer
I'm your killer
I'm your killer
- Are you gonna speak there or not?
- A little, not yet.
I've got nothing to say.
Nothing to say.
This song
has a special place in this show.
It's meant to pamper the soul
and the person we are,
which we cannot help but be.
And it's okay to be what we are.
So I think in this reunion,
after such a long time,
more than ever,
we must sing this next song
with all our hearts.
I am what I so longed to live
Every step I take for you
I am your mirror, your voice
I am what you see
Because I am the one who finds freedom
With the strength of truth
A real story
I am what you see
Happy Pride Month, my loves!
Happy Pride!
Happy life.
Happy life.
- We never included it at the end?
- No.
It's a great finale for me.
Because it's a track
that feels anticipated. It's sung a lot.
- Yeah.
- Throw it in at the end. Leave with that.
The sound of your voice broke apart
You're fighting against the wind
DISCIPLINA TOUR
+30 CITIES +250,000 SPECTATORS
Don't waste any more time
First concert
of the Disciplina Tour in Argentina.
Yeah, Lali.
Is this a documentary?
I say it's right, you say it's wrong
Everything in my path you'll try to break
Your insecurity
Cake!
It speaks the truth
I don't have to be what they want to see
Lovely day in Santa Fe.
But in my actions lies the answer
And that bothers you
Off to Ro Puerto, Crdoba.
Because everything about me
Breaks your conscience
Everything about you
Made me lose my innocence
Shoot me, don't hesitate anymore
This time you won't be able
To take me down
I don't know how I'll do tomorrow.
...your life spinning around
Enough talking and talking
Stop lying and hurting
Yes, everything comes back
Like a boomerang
Not in a row.
You make me laugh and cry
You talk about me to escape
And everything comes back
Boomerang
Everything about me breaks your conscience
Everything about you
Made me lose my innocence
Shoot me!
Yes, everything comes back
Boomerang
I missed being home so much.
I missed my city so much.
I missed this stage so much,
and I missed you all so much.
Thank you, sweethearts.
AT HOME, BABY - ARGENTINA
LALI
NOV. 2022, RECORDING STUDIO
THE RECORDING OF THE ALBUM CONTINUES
Of course!
- Nice, that.
- Yeah.
Well, the pop triumvirate
is back in the studio.
After how long?
- Fifteen years.
- After...?
It's been 84 years.
The number you have dialed does not exist.
For me, give it a little air.
"The number you've dialed does not exist."
See?
VOCAL RECORDING FOR HER FIFTH ALBUM
The number you have dialed does not exist.
Like you... I'm missing the cut.
- We'll put it in another track.
- Okay.
I'm going to stop you
Stop trying to get my attention
What you've got is called obse...
That's it
- Okay.
- Cool, huh?
Yeah, okay.
You follow me in a taxi
Snapping pics for the paparazzi
I don't want you close to me anymore
Don't call me on air
Can I do three lines at a time, damn it?
Yeah, listen, there's something
that sounds weird.
You follow me in a taxi
Snapping pics for the paparazzi
I'm not loving "paparazzi" that way.
"Paparasi."
It is paparazzi. Not "paparasi."
- Sounds off.
- I'm not saying "paparasi."
Dude, either paparazzi or "paparatsi."
I'm not saying "paparasi."
No, Mauro, let's record it as it was.
No one ever cared, it's great.
Well, just you, not the rest of humanity.
Dude, I'm not saying "paparasi."
It goes with "taxi."
No one says it like that.
It's true. I'm right.
Guys, look how awful it sounds.
You follow me in a taxi
Snapping pics for the "paparasi"
I want to kill myself, Mauro!
It has to be perfectly clear.
Wait, you're judging me too much.
This goes under the lead vocals.
Okay, but there's something there
that makes the lyrics hard to understand.
Mauro, when did you get
all nitpicky with "Obsesin"?
Always,
but we'd never really worked on it.
Can't it be,
"Don't call me, I won't answer"?
What's wrong with "Don't call me,
I won't answer, I'm not here for you"?
Upper harmonies are missing,
which open more when you sing
and can make the words clearer.
- Excuses.
- No, it's hard for me to sing that low.
- And if you say...?
- It's not--
I get it, but here...
Don't call me, I won't answer, I..."
Take it as a layer.
Let's do another vocal...
One of the others
that makes the lyrics clearer.
It's not about where you're singing from.
It's about what you're saying,
not what you're singing.
What's wrong with it?
"Don't call, I won't answer" is perfect.
It's a tongue twister.
Sometimes we make bangers,
sometimes we don't.
Like, if we're being honest,
this one isn't like...
You're giving me a last-minute honesty,
and we spoke about it differently earlier.
It's also...
- You should've said it.
- Defend it, then.
We're having a debate, not a fight.
This is a debate.
- Who... So I'm a jerk.
- Who said you were?
"But you get all mad," you say.
Can't I defend my point vehemently, guys?
No.
Seems like I have to agree
so you dont get all butt-hurt.
You get nervous, and nobody understands
a damn thing when you get mad.
- I don't feel like hugging you.
- Yeah, me neither.
- I'd beat the shit out of you right now.
- Take it outside!
Now I'm mad.
It pisses me off when they say I'm mad.
See? You do get mad.
Hey, can you hear me?
NOV. 2022, 31ST LGBTIQ+ PRIDE MARCH
Well, first of all, happy Pride.
Happy Pride, Buenos Aires!
Argentina, damn it!
We're here because we celebrate life,
because we celebrate respect.
We celebrate the music that identifies us.
That's why I'm here today,
with this incredible team of friends.
For you then, today,
since it's such a super powerful
and super special day...
800,000 PEOPLE ATTEND THE MARCH
...I want to give you a new song
that was made for you.
It's called "Motiveishon."
I dedicate it to you with all my heart.
LALI PRESENTS A NEW SONG FROM THE ALBUM
With all my heart. For you.
Let's dance, damn it!
I drag myself to the end
Monday to Friday always the same
I earn just to spend
I sweat just to splurge
Motiveishon
Motiveishon
I worked hard all week
With this ass I'm going to dance
Beat, resound, no rest even in the grave
MORENA
FRIEND
Ask about the dead guy
And they'll say, "He went partying"
Come on!
A word that's been
used too much, overused,
used for many wrong things, is respect.
I think today we give that word
its true meaning.
Respect for others, love for others.
I am emotionally connected
to the empathy I feel
for those fighting for their rights.
LALI ESPSITO'S SUPPORFOR THE UNIVERSITY MARCH
LATIN GRAMMYS 2018. LALI ESPSITO
WORE THE GREEN SCARF FOR LEGAL ABORTION
I stand with all the brave women
who are putting themselves out there.
Their time going to Congress,
fighting for this.
It's about freedom, rights,
and not letting more women die.
GARDEL AWARDS 2019
Truth is, there are things in life
that, as a human, I care about defending.
LALI BACKED FEMINIST MARCH IN EUROPE
LALI CRITICIZED ARGENTINE JUSTICE
FOR GENDER VIOLENCE
Because here I can contribute,
when it comes to the community,
through my music and my words,
I can do something, add to that struggle.
I feel the urgent need to raise my voice,
and I do so with pride.
PROUD OF WHO WE ARE. ALWAYS.
OF THE STRENGTH AND LOVE.
PROUD AND BRAVE. ALWAYS.
FOR THOSE GONE. FOR THOSE HERE.
FOR THOSE WHO FIND FREEDOM IN TRUTH.
A CHILD SHOULD BE RAISED BY A FATHER
AND A MOTHER - NO TO GAY MARRIAGE!
The messages of hate toward
the LGTBQ+ community continue to rise,
and are expressed
with increasing violence.
Not only on social networks,
but in traditional media.
INFLATION AND 2023 ELECTIONS
Argentines voted down
populist models and traditional policies
that had shaped the country for decades.
MILEI IS NEW PRESIDENWe'll move forward
with the changes the country needs.
THE LIBERAL MODEL
We're sure embracing ideas of freedom...
...ONSLAUGHT ON ABORTION
...is the only way we can get out
of the hole they put us in.
LALI @lalioficial AUG 13, 2023
HOW DANGEROUS. HOW SAD.
MILLION VIEWS
COMMENTS - REPOSTS - LIKES - BOOKMARKS
When the numbers become known...
- Lali.
- Lali.
Lali Espsito expresses
her disapproval on social media.
Lali crossed a line. You can't say someone
is dangerous because they won an election.
MILEI TOOK AIM AT LALI
The president started by questioning
the governors for holding festivals...
...statements from the president,
where he lashed out
at one particular artist,
Lali Espsito,
whom he mockingly called "Lali Deposit."
The head of state once again
accused the singer
of pocketing state money
for her performances.
There's a power imbalance.
MILEI DOUBLES DOWN ON ATTACKS
A president pointing fingers
and blacklisting an artist
because they're not
in favor of his policies.
"Ladri Deposit" was trending
on social media.
VERY NAC & POP, LALI
Messages for and against. Tons of haters.
From people insulting her to people
calling her out for not tweeting.
They called her everything.
"It's dangerous living
with 120 inflation, Lali, come on."
"Now say it without autotune."
They said everything to Lali.
LALI ESPSITO RESPONDS TO CRITICISM
The president kept the controversy going.
He said the artist lip-syncs
and renamed her "Ladri Deposit."
Milei's fury was unleashed
on the Cosqun festival.
Pay attention to this. What began
as a critique of subsidies
now seems to have turned
into something more personal.
Almost an obsession
of the president with Lali.
FEB. 2024, COSQUN ROCK FESTIVAL
What kind of sexual fantasy is this?
Good evening, Cosqun!
As I always say, everything that happens
to an artist is a collective matter.
It does not depend only on the artist
or their desire, but also on the public.
It isn't pandering, it's real.
We wouldn't be here otherwise.
That's what I'm here to celebrate.
I thought a lot about what to say.
Imagine the context.
But I'll say something very...
The most important thing of all,
I think, at least for me,
is what we are,
this party that we Argentines are,
this union generated
by art, music, culture.
No one is ever going
to take it away from us.
It depends on us,
on those of us who are up here
and have specific responsibilities
and a lot of love,
and on you, who support it and defend it.
What's missing? What do you need?
It moves me, the way you cry
Who are they?
What's missing? What do you need?
It moves me, the way you cry
Who are they?
My present surpassing my past
While you sit there all day, what?
That I smoke, that I live, that I say
That I drink, that I live off the state
Lights, you're missing lights
You only project darkness
Who are they?
THE PRESIDENT'S ATTACKS
AND FAKE NEWS ABOUT LALI BECAME ROUTINE
OTHERS DEFENDING CULTURE
AND DIVERSITY FACED SIMILAR ATTACKS,
FOSTERING HATE TOWARD GOVERNMENT CRITICS
BUT BACK TO OUR STORY...
DECEMBER 2022
THE NEW ALBUM IS ALMOST READY.
LALI CLOSES OUT 2022
WITH HER BIGGEST SHOW TO DATE.
It's a lot of energy, isn't it?
Is this the biggest concert you've done?
Yes, mine, in terms of ticket sales,
of people paying to see me, by numbers,
this is the biggest.
- That's crazy!
- Biggest ever.
DEC. 2022, MOVISTAR ARENA
SHOW DAY
- How's it going?
- 'Sup?
- Hi!
- Hi.
What's up, buddy?
- How's it going?
- Good.
I wore this one in the penalty kicks
against The Netherlands.
- Well, will you wear it now?
- If we win, I will.
Thirty minutes left before the match
between Argentina and Australia begins...
WORLD CUP - ROUND OF 16
ARGENTINA VS AUSTRALIA
The atmosphere in the stadium
is just tension and expectation.
Half an hour. How's the stage?
Let's go! Come on.
Put the match on here.
Argentina's game had to happen
in the middle of our long-awaited show
at the Movistar Arena.
Goal?
- Yes!
- Goal!
Anyway, despite it all, we have
to keep going with our tests and stuff.
So, there's a group of people
watching the match,
the artist doing her hair
watching the match,
the band on stage testing,
Lautaro working...
Each of us, divided into different areas.
I came to make mate
'cause I never do a thing.
So it was just to do something.
MAJO
PRODUCER
So, that's what's happening.
We've got a show-ow. A show wow.
OVER 30,000 PEOPLE
ATTENDED ON DECEMBER 3 AND 4
We love you, Lali!
Attention
Firm
I'll try not to cry.
It's hard because
I see faces that have been with me
since the very first show of my life.
Let's go! Last show of the year!
So many people stood by me for years,
trusting me whatever I do,
whatever album, even if I shove
a feather duster up my ass,
if I go, return, travel, stay,
no matter what, they're there.
Thanks for believing
in what we're doing differently.
This was an unforgettable year for me.
"Disciplina" is the word that will remain
forever engraved in my career and heart.
Even if what comes next is also good.
Hopefully!
But Disciplina is... Disciplina.
Dis-ci-pli-na!
You don't see it
Because of your ego, ego, ego
You're blind, blind, blind
And even if my skin
Feels the fire, fire, fire
It's your ego, ego, ego, my karma
Goddess!
I want to hear you sing
the chorus of "Ego" on your own,
with all your lungs.
I want to hear you. The chorus goes...
- You...
- ...don't see it
Louder!
Because of your ego, ego, ego
You're blind, blind, blind
And even if my skin
Feels the fire, fire, fire...
- It's your ego, ego, ego...
- ...it's your ego, ego, ego, my karma
Thank you, loves. Thank you.
Thank you.
You're the best audience ever, damn it.
Argentina!
Argentina!
Let's go, Argentina, damn it!
The boys are out there
representing us today. What a joy.
Not just because Argentina won,
which is kind of the excuse,
but because we are Argentine
and we're sort
of a strange creature, really.
We're a strange kind of country,
our grit, our way of pushing forward,
our way of chasing dreams.
An energy and a love for our place,
for our land, for our traditions.
We're a people very proud
of what we've built,
despite how hard it is
for many people to live in this country
and the things that happen.
We're Argentine and, well,
I know well what it means for things
to be hard and to finally get somewhere.
We know what it means to say,
"I'm Argentine."
A girl from the south
Who can be seen
From the north by everyone
She's the queen of the street
And she doesn't need anything expensive
Yeah
If you see her, tell her
She just needs to speed up
Watch out, better watch out
I can't stop, better watch out
- Lali who's light
- Lali who's light
Pure dynamite
Everyone says that's who I am
Lali who's light 'cause I'm fierce as hell
I rep my own wherever I go
Everything you see is mine
And it's not for sale
Everything I feel, you feel too
With this Argentinian booty that...
Yeah!
Music is such a bitch.
I mean, it goes straight to your heart.
It's that thing that takes you to a place,
to a memory, to a pain, to a love.
Few things manage to connect
so deeply with the idea of the collective,
of us all being alive and part
of the same thing, like music does.
When people see someone singing
or doing something with passion,
they catch on to something.
Passion and strength are very contagious.
14 DAYS LATER
IN QATAR...
Unexpectedly, I'm heading...
to sing the Argentine national anthem.
May the laurels be eternal
That we knew how to achieve
That we knew how to achieve
Crowned with glory let us live
Or swear with glory to die!
Or swear with glory to die!
Or swear with glory to die!
Long live Argentina!
ON DECEMBER 18, 2022,
ARGENTINA BECAME WORLD CHAMPION.
Welcome to Punta del Este.
AFTER THE EUPHORIA,
THERE ARE STILL SONGS TO FINISH.
Where we're going to finish
the fucking album, which is called...
"Fucking Album."
- Super fucking.
- Yeah.
THE ALBUM STILL HAS NO TITLE.
- Essence.
- Essence.
- Essence is the name of our house.
- Vanilla essence.
JAN. 2023
For the after-party. That's good.
We look like four crazies
with those masks.
And it's kind of a test, trying to make
an album that feels... really good.
All I did was follow my intuition.
Yeah.
Yeah!
- Go on, go on, man.
- You're talented, huh?
What have you been doing, Mau?
- Hey!
- I want to...
Can you add a spin
where it comes in a little more...?
Dawn...
THE SUN GOES DOWN
IT NO LONGER BURNS
AND HERE I AM
LIGHTING UP ON THE SAND...
- What's it going to be called?
- The album?
- No.
- It's called Lali.
- They say it should be called Lali.
- Looks like it's Lali.
I don't agree so much.
They say it's a very personal album,
"of today,"
and that it should be called Lali.
It's 2023.
January 1st, 2023.
We're in Punta del Este.
In a place called Arenas de Jos Ignacio.
A bit homemade,
but when you've got talent,
you don't need big studios.
With the pop triumvirate,
it's guaranteed success.
Thanks, bye.
"Here they won't know
who I am or ask why."
- Do we start on "dawn"?
- Until the dawn
Rise...
- Don't get nervous.
- No, you've got it.
- No, when I do it, you tell me it's not.
- Until it comes out.
But don't think about it.
- If I don't, how do I do it?
- Rise... You don't have to--
I swear you've got it.
- I'll do what I want.
- Go on.
Relax. I swear I've got it.
- Can I listen? I didn't hear it.
- We haven't finished.
A few parts are left to record.
- "Bangladesh" is missing.
- And what's it called?
- "Sola."
- What's it about?
- The other one was better.
- It's about a girl on the beach.
She's on her own, not thrilled,
but she lets herself go with life
and ends up in a beach bar.
She was smoking her joint, thinking,
staring at nothing,
thinking about everything.
She feels a beat that takes her
and ends up having a wild night
with some strangers in...
- In Cuba.
- In Cuba?
It was the Dominican Republic
five minutes ago.
Dominican Republic.
TAO. LUCK. SPINNING LIKE A ROULETTE
I loved it.
- It's really good.
- I need to listen to it with headphones.
- But I think it's good.
- Yeah.
Do I get some mate
and a continental breakfast?
- Or is this a...?
- Look at the service.
Give me a second.
- Let's listen to the song.
- Hold on a second.
I just woke up, Mauro.
My head.
She's in the mood to headbutt some tech.
I'm an actress, don't you get the code?
- I'm acting.
- Long live fiction, damn it!
That's it, what a man!
Umbrellas are like women.
If you don't nail them down hard,
they blow away.
- Let's dance.
- Let's dance.
No, dumbass.
- What are you filming?
- A golden diva.
A diva pulling pots out of the kitchen.
To complete you.
What?
Will you say something about my mustache,
or pretend it's not there?
I've got a big mustache.
I know I've got a big mustache.
- That you're not lying when you tell me.
- I say it with love.
No, and besides, it's on purpose.
I have to keep waxing all year long.
I don't feel like it.
I'm on a ten-day vacation.
Look at my eyebrow hair.
That's my real eyebrow.
- Mariana.
- You want the album to be titled Mariana?
- I love it.
- Mariana?
There's something self-promotional
about it being titled Lali
that feels weird to me.
But it's true, I kind of reinvent my life.
I've been Lali for many years,
since I was born,
but I've been working
as Lali for many years,
and suddenly giving Lali another meaning...
It's fine, I get it.
- This album destroys me.
- It's excellent.
It hurts me directly.
I already want to perform this live.
Can I interview you?
- Are you proud to be Lali?
- Sure.
- Yeah?
- Sure.
What do you feel at 31 years old?
In relation to what?
What a bad interviewer!
At what point in your life are you?
I'm where I want to be.
That I can assure you.
- Really?
- Yup.
Did life give you everything you expected?
I didn't expect anything,
that's why everything surprised me. Yeah!
It's true.
And if life were like
a third-grade report card?
Where it would say,
"Needs to work harder."
- Interviewers.
- Colon.
- Go on.
- What would you write?
Needs to work harder at...
What would you work harder at in life?
I'm thinking.
Will there be tears?
Needs to work harder at...
at accepting that
not everything goes the way I want.
- How do you see yourself in ten years?
- No...
- I hate...
- Do you consider yourself proactive?
They always ask that crap.
I never want to answer.
- Okay.
- I'm not answering that bullshit anymore.
I could be dead in ten years.
I don't know.
How do you wish to see yourself?
I don't know.
- No, no, but still...
- Ask me properly.
- Are you going to ask me properly?
- Okay.
- Come on, skinny.
- Skinny, what's up?
You too.
- It's obvious to say I'm like the...
- The motor.
The motor, but yes,
because it's the project of your own,
and you know what it means
to defend things live afterward.
So maybe in some studio explorations,
my job is as simple,
and at the same time as hard,
as imagining myself on stage with it.
Because ultimately,
I consider, ladies and gentlemen,
I consider myself a live artist.
So my task in the studio with the PTP is,
realizing if I can truly
defend that in a live show,
in a visual,
or in that where I know
I have to give my 100%.
Think that even from anecdotes you tell,
songs come out.
It's from what you live and tell.
That's the concept.
Everything is directly connected with you.
And it's taking that risk.
For me, it's taking that risk.
Because it has kind of a b-side,
if you call it "Disciplina," it's like...
In some way,
you're depersonalizing it a bit.
I think there's something in me
about taking responsibility.
That it's a very "me" album.
I realized I had made an album
that really spoke about me.
About my fears, about my search for love,
about my friends, lots of them,
about my connection
to what's most sincere.
That's also why there were
songs like "Disciplina," like "N5,"
songs in which
there is clearly a search for sincerity,
but mainly towards myself.
It's true that no other album
will ever be able to have that title.
It's true.

THE DISCIPLINA TOUR COMES TO AN END
BEFORE 50,000 PEOPLE
AT LALI'S FIRST STADIUM SHOW.
Look at the view. Having some mate.
Some mate.
ANITA
SISTER
But Diana told me,
"It's a lot of people who love you."
"A lot of people who love you."
I'm gonna cry so much.
"You'll give it your all," she said,
"but you must be ready to receive."
"You'll give no matter what."
"Be open to receiving whatever
those 50,000 people want to tell you."
- Since January.
- We came from Santa Fe.
Some have been camping
for a month and a half,
and us, for a month.
We'd been waiting for this
for a long time.
Simply thank you for being who you are
and for sharing all that you do.
- We love you.
- We love you. Always with you.
No!
I don't authorize my image.
I don't authorize my image.
We have to leave in an hour.
No, but the alarm is going off in a bit.
- No, it already went off.
- Really?
Oh, shit. I didn't get up
because I thought I had time.
Don't be annoying.
Are you doing a show today?
Oh yeah...
Ugh, fuck off.
- My throat hurts.
- Mine too.
If...
I AM
NOBODY CONTROLS ME
MARCH 2023, VLEZ SARSFIELD STADIUM
SHOW DAY
HARD TO BE A QUEEN LIKE YOU
I'm Ale, from Crdoba.
Thanks, Lali, for saving me.
I love you. This love is forever.
I don't believe
I'm the angel in anyone's life.
That's why I open my heart so wide.
My life stories,
where I come from, who I am.
For me, it's a collective fact.
It's not just about
fulfilling my dream of making art.
It's about all of us living a life
and living moments of passion, alive.
My first time in a soccer stadium
had to be for Lali, not something else.
This is a celebration
of all of us being free.
I went to the first Luna,
to the Movi, and now to Vlez
because I think it's something
that will go down in history.
This is the Vlez.
IN 2004, LALI WAS PART OF THE SHOW
"FLORICIENTA," STAGED IN THIS VERY STADIUM
It's huge.
This is the great stadium.
And here I am.
I want to say I'm so excited.
- Ma.
- Hi, my love.
I want to tell you something.
Remember what I told you today.
Enjoy it, live it, take it in your heart.
You'll never forget this.
Oh, how sweet!
Lali, what can I say?
I send you a big hug.
You know I love you so much.
I love working with you...
PETER
FRIEND
...being by your side,
because you're an excellent woman.
I know you can keep going
because you're incredible.
What else can I say?
Last one. No!
My little blood!
- How are you?
- Good, it's so exciting that you're here.
- Yes.
- Hi.
- Do Lali's makeup.
- Put on your makeup.
Hi, Mom.
Hi, Dad.
She's authentic, above all,
and she allows herself to be
beyond what others expect of her, so...
She was really underrated,
and now that shes made it,
were here celebrating with her.
The experience
is being happy all the time.
For me, Lali is an icon.
She's an icon in every sense.
She's a gay icon. She's a queer icon.
That's what she is. It's Lali's party.
YOU'RE HOTTER THAN DIBU'S SAVE
Pride!
Total pride. It's amazing
that she draws such a huge crowd.
Filling Vlez is insane.
I can only think of the girl
dancing in front of the mirror,
and imagined a crowd one day.
It might have never happened.
And now it is, so...
I want to thank you,
to say I love you all so much,
that I'm deeply moved, grateful,
that we will see one of the best shows,
I think, in pop music history, why not?
And also, beyond the title
or saying it in a more banal way,
like being the first woman to...
I am the first woman to fill this stadium,
and that's really something.
Di-sci-pli-na!
Attention
Firm
On your knees begging me for a lesson
Yeah, yeah
You know dominating you is my motivation
On the floor and give me 100
I want to see you work
Like that, yeah
And when you can't take any more
Maybe I'll grant you mercy
Mercy
Go for it, and you'll see
Like dopamine
I'll unleash every fantasy, baby
Always asking for more

Let's hear it, Vlez!
I want you on top
Nothing on, only Chanel No. 5
We already tore up the stage
Then the hotel room
Together in love, then we met again
We already made the cover, now feed me
I want you on top
Nothing on, only Chanel No. 5
Look who I ran into backstage!
Congratulations!
They're coming.
Here I am.
Hi, look at my face.
Honestly it was a shitty trip.
Well, it was really a shitty trip.
Twenty-four hours.
Hi. I'm very bored, very tired.
Look at my dark circles. Close-up.
Can you see me?
- I see you.
- You have no idea what... The showers, no.
I don't have water issues here.
You don't know what the shower is like.
The girl's having a rough time.
But I want to show you Lali
singing on the balcony.
They're all over the desert
The platforms bleed this posi...
- Chicho!
- Hi.
When we started
the Disciplina Tour at Luna Park,
I honestly didn't imagine that
in less than a year we'd be here.
And today, especially,
I remembered that little girl
who used to play at dancing
and singing in front of the mirror,
like my favorite game in life,
and who was a lighthearted, joyful girl...
who never accepted it when they told her
that dream wasn't for her.
And sometimes,
the world's hostility and circumstances
make us believe it's not possible.
I assure you it is.
Yeah?
The jeans. Don't touch your nose.
With suede boots.
Aunt, look at my suede boots!
Lali.
Auntie, film me while I swim!
Over here.
Everyone's in such a bad mood!
- Not me!
- But not me!
Not you, Lali.
Show me a move there in the water.
Me with you
Me with you
What can I say?
I take care of you,
but I'm discovering that you're an artist.
I see you shine. I like it, it moves me.
I love you to the sky.
Never lift your feet off the ground.
I love you.
Thank you so much from my heart, everyone.
Unconditional

YESTERDAY'S NEWS
SCANDAL!
I dedicate this award
to the inspiration behind my album, Lali,
the LGBT community.
THE ALBUM "LALI" MARKED
A BEFORE AND AFTER IN HER CAREER.
What we're celebrating
is love, it's unity,
and that stirs up
a lot of anger in others.
So we mustn't give up,
and beauty will always prevail.
HER MUSIC GREW MORE PERSONAL
AND HER VOICE STRONGER.
Good. A little.
...happy birthday to you
IN 2025, LALI FILLED VLEZ AGAIN
FIVE TIMES.
Comes looking for me, eats my leftovers
He's on me like my shadow
Na-na, na-na-na-na-na
He's my fan, he drives me crazy
He dreams of me and touches himself
Na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na-na-na

MAY LOVE, FRIENDSHIP,
HAPPINESS, PRIDE, CREATIVITY
MAY ART ALWAYS BE WHAT FUELS FREEDOM
I won't live in fear of being born
If I'm going to die, let it be later
I won't stop out of fear of running
I know they wish they could control me
TIRITAS "B"
7 YEARS OLD
I did all I wanted to do
I'm all I wanted to be when I grow up
Even if nothing is like it was yesterday
I won't change
No matter how much they bark
I know every "but" has its reason
When I despair, I know we're okay
Okay
I was never what they wanted me to be
And I don't care
The ones who were always there still are
The rest don't matter
And the things they might say about me
Don't matter anymore
Hey, oh, I speed up and go
Whenever you want, you know where I am
I'm not on the same corner as yesterday
But everyone knows where to find me
And if you see my face on some poster
It's so my mother can be proud
It's been a while since I could see you
But none of that can erase you
I carry my home tattooed on my skin
I made this song so I wouldn't forget
I know every "but" has its reason
When I despair, I know we're okay
Okay
I was never what they wanted me to be
And I don't care
The ones who were always there still are
The rest don't matter
And the things they might say about me
Don't matter anymore
Hey, oh, I speed up and go
Whenever you want, you know where I am
I was never what they wanted me to be
And I don't care
The ones who were always there still are
The rest don't matter
And the things they might say about me
Don't matter anymore
Hey, oh, I speed up and go
Whenever you want, you know where I am
