Follow the rise and thrill of the debut album release, La Joia, by the acclaimed singer Bad Gyal. Portrait of a pop icon in the year of her international consecration, following the release of her first album, La Joia. At the same time, it is the story of Alba Farelo, a girl from Vilassar who, after years of constant work and never abandoning her vision, has achieved global success, becoming a social phenomenon beyond music. The film unpacks, step by step, how she has honed her proposal, from raw diamond to shining jewel, building a unique image and discourse that connects her with the audience in ways few can. A fashion icon, symbol of Gen Z, LGTBIQ+ diva, bridge between the underground scene and the mainstream. What is the mystery of Bad Gyal? The documentary follows her intimate journey across the world over the past 3 years, from the Dominican Republic to Los Angeles, from Las Vegas to Barcelona. A journey toward the mainstream, accompanied by her team, who are also her group of friends. A story woven from live performances, never-before-seen footage, fashion shows, studio recordings with the most influential producers of current music, where the artist's social media and her followers' reactions become an additional narrative element that deconstructs her own story and persona. We will discover the secrets of show business and the Bad Gyal universe, where music, fashion, beauty, and social media fuse to understand what it means to be a successful artist in the 21st century, where more and more, the artist’s image takes precedence over their music. We will experience firsthand what lies behind all the noise, what remains when the audience is no longer there, how Alba Farelo copes with constant exposure, and all she has to sacrifice to be who she is. Where Alba ends and Bad Gyal begins?
