About the Awareness Soundtrack
María Pedraza stars as Ester, an operative sent to track down Ian (Carlos Scholz), a teenage rebel with the extraordinary ability to project visual illusions into people’s minds. Pedro Alonso co-stars as Vicente, Ian’s father, an alcoholic widower who has raised his son on the margins of society, the two of them getting by on small scams powered by Ian’s abilities.
The story follows Ian and Vicente as a mysterious agency begins pursuing them after Ian loses control of his powers in public, and as Ian discovers he is not the only person who can project illusions. The 112-minute film was scored by composer Roque Baños (Don’t Breathe 2); music supervisor Lourdes Hernández (Killer Book Club) selected the featured needle-drops. Here is every song in Awareness.
