Synopsis:

Julia, an only child of an affluent, bank owning family living in Madrid, escapes from her family to get over her grief that her boyfriend has been imprisoned. Julia is a well educated woman, having studied in Switzerland and England, who wants to become a writer. Julia drives to a little village in Asturias called 'Corralbos del Sella' and there she stays in a mansion 'llendelabarca' of an old childhood friend 'Pilara' she had spent many a happy summer with. Also living there is Pilara's mother in law Tia Gala, and her grandson Juanito. Julia's relationship with caretakers, teacher and priest makes Julia, a woman of the Spanish capital, perhaps for the first time to not feel so alone.

Spain's official entry for the 2000 Academy Awards, YOU'RE THE ONE - A STORY OF THE PAST, is acclaimed director José Luis Garci's tribute to classic Hollywood melodrama's of the 1940s. A glamorous Kim Novak-like blonde, Julia (Lydia Bosch), is devastated by the death of her lover, an artist and political prisoner, who died in exile. To cope with her depression she leaves Madrid for her family's remote rural estate, 'Llendelbarca,' an enchanting and picturesque home steeped in memories of her own childhood. Upon her arrival she is reunited with her family's servants, Pilara (Ana Fernández), Gala (Julia Gutiérrez Caba) and Pilara's son Juanito (Manuel Lozano). Julia's presence at Llendelbarca stirs up old memories and reconnects the woman to a simpler country life, while infusing the town with her exotic and radical sensibilities. Julia is an intoxicating and worldly rebel who delights in shocking the traditional villagers and exciting those looking for escape. Juanito, a sensitive dreamer who delights in the weekly showings of American movies at the village bar, finds a kindred spirit in Julia who instantly takes a liking to the young boy. Julia's presence also inspires Juanito's retiring schoolmaster Orfeo (Iñaki Miramón) who shyly begins to share his own artistic passions with the beautiful newcomer. The simple life at Llendelbarca, with Pilar and her family, rejuvinates Julia's waning spirit and gives her the strength to move on with her life. YOU'RE THE ONE is a tender and passionate tale of passion and faith that is beautifully filmed in black and white. Lydia Bosch is a delight to watch. She is equal parts glamorous Hollywood starlet and passionate political activist.

Deeply depressed Julia leaves Madrid to return to the town of her youth and leaves an indelible mark on all, while she changes for the better.
