'Alaska Revelada' is an approach to the artist's personal and professional life from a place of intimacy until now unknown. The metamorphosis of a pop icon who has not stopped reinventing himself throughout the different stages of his life. Always an advocate of transforming her body to also build her interior, in 'Salud' we explore what the journey has been like since she was a child to achieve a physical and spiritual transformation. In 'Money' we travel through the vast professional life of Alaska, full of high points of fame and money, as well as absolute economic ruins. In 'Amor' we structure Olvido's relationships with the other. The figure of his father, his relationship with his former manager Pito Cubillas, his great friendship with Nacho Canut and the great love of his life, Mario Vaquerizo. A documentary series articulated like a bolero along three concepts that define all human life: health, money and love.
