Fernando Tejero, Óscar Casas, Carlos Santos, Nerea Camacho, Adriana Ozores and Salvador Serrano collaborate on this feature film, debut feature by Joaquín Carmona Hidalgo from Murcia
This may be the most complicated Spanish shoot of the past few months, but thankfully everything has been resolved. It is ‘Last Wills’, a thriller of overcoming and intrigue, feature debut by Joaquín Carmona Hidalgo from Murcia, starring Fernando Tejero, Óscar Casas, Carlos Santos, Nerea Camacho, Adriana Ozores and Salvador Serrano (also the screenwriter of the film). But this was not the cast that started filming the movie last December. Then there were Àlex Monner, Pepa Aniorte and Alberto San Juan. Due to Covid 19, the recordings had to be interrupted when it was barely two weeks ago. Numerous team members became infected and others had to be quarantined.

We have a very clear approach, for which I am proud of the project, at peace and very grateful to the team we have formed». The director adds that he has just witnessed “the tremendous performance of one of the best actors this country has given”, referring to Fernando Tejero after a scene where the actor had to break in. “Thank you for this gift, master.”
