The documentary Cuando nadie me ve, recently released on Movistar, confirms why Alejandro Sanz is one of the most loved and respected figures in Spanish music.
Over the course of three episodes, the singer opens the doors of his life without reservation and offers an honest, profound and, at times, moving testimony. As expected, the project has not disappointed and has been received as an intimate piece that connects directly with the viewer.
Far from constructing an idealized portrait, Alejandro decides to tell his story as he has lived it, with lights and shadows. The artist shows himself to be vulnerable and reflective, willing to talk about what is often avoided, even when living under public scrutiny.
No filters: the other face of Alejandro Sanz’s success
One of the great strengths of the documentary is the sincerity with which Sanz addresses complex issues such as depression, mental health, excesses and the emotional impact of fame. The singer reflects on the price of success, the constant pressures and how these have affected both his career and his personal life.
Infidelities, breakups and moments of deep loneliness are part of the story, always from a human point of view and without victimhood. Despite the darkest episodes, the documentary makes it clear that his achievements as a father and as a musician have been his greatest driving force to move forward. It is a journey through an intense life, marked by learning, falls and reconstructions.
Cuando nadie me ve destaca por la entrega absoluta de Alejandro Sanz. Each chapter conveys the feeling of listening to a sincere confession, without poses or prefabricated speeches. The artist speaks with the serenity of someone who has made peace with his past and with the clarity of someone who understands that the truth, although uncomfortable, liberates.
The documentary not only celebrates his musical career, but also his personal evolution. In this balance between the professional and the intimate, the viewer discovers a close, sensitive and deeply aware of his history Alejandro.
The reunion with Shakira that went viral
Among the most talked-about moments of the documentary is a scene as spontaneous as it is endearing with Shakira. The encounter took place on a plane, when the Colombian singer met again with Alejandro and his then partner, Candela Márquez. The naturalness of the moment won over fans and quickly went viral.
The scene takes on even more significance when we remember that, two decades after the success of La tortura, both artists joined their voices again in the song Bésame, accompanied by a video clip that marked a new chapter in their friendship. It was precisely that project that allowed Shakira and Candela to meet.
In the clip circulating on social networks, Shakira is seen entering the plane greeting with a warm “Family, hello!”, before addressing Candela with affection. Both embrace and burst into laughter after an anecdote told by the singer of “La bicicleta”.
“My children tell me: ‘Alejandro’s girlfriend looks just like you,'” said Shakira with laughter, provoking even more laughter among the three of them. Alejandro Sanz decided to include this moment in the documentary as a token of the affection, trust and complicity he has cultivated with his friends over the years.
A simple scene, genuine and full of humanity that summarizes the spirit of When No One Sees Me: truth, closeness and a life intensely lived.
