IT WAS ALWAYS ME (a.k.a. Siempre fui yo) is a musical drama about a young woman who wants to learn more about how her father died. María Guadalupe del Mar Díaz Mint (Karol Sevilla), known as "Lupe," is 22 and lives in Mexico. When her father, a famous folk singer known as "El Faraón" (Christian Tappan), suddenly dies, she travels to the Caribbean coastal town of Cartagena, Colombia to attend his funeral. But after meeting his (former) assistant, Noah Cortéz (Pipe Bueno), and reading her father's diary, she suspects that her late father's death was no accident. Determined to investigate, she remains in Colombia and enters a local music contest, even though she suffers from extreme stage fright. It's the start of an unexpected adventure, but one that Lupe hopes will help her uncover the truth.
