An infectiously joyful journey through the greatest hits of the incomparable Raffaella Carrà, My Heart Goes Boom! follows Maria, a bride who just fled her own wedding and whose dream was always to dance. As she brings colour to the grey Spain of the 1970s by becoming a starlet on the biggest TV musical, her quest for personal freedom will go hand in hand with the explosion of a long-time censorship imposed by the regime.
