The film, starring Emma Suárez, Magüi Mira and Aura Garrido, tells the story of three women from a family dedicated to acting; a grandmother, a mother and a daughter
‘Someone Who Takes Care of Me’ is being shot (three weeks in Pamplona, one in Madrid), the directorial debut of writer Elvira Lindo (‘Manolito Gafotas’), a film she co-wrote with Daniela Fejerman (‘7 Minutes’, The Adoption’, yet to be published ‘Mamá no enRedes’), the story of three women from a family who specialize in acting; a grandmother, a mother and a daughter. They are very different between them, but there is a strong relationship between the three. It is based on an original story by Elvira Lindo known for a time as “What I Never Told You.”
These roles are played by Emma Suárez, Magüi Mira and Aura Garrido. The cast is complemented by Pedro Mari Sánchez (‘Who Killed Bambi’), Francesc Garrido (‘The Adoption’) and Víctor Clavijo (‘The Ministry of Time’).
The film’s synopsis tells how Nora (Aura Garrido), a young actress with a promising future, balances between the two pillars of her life: her grandmother Magüi (Magüi Mira), now retired, ruled for decades as a great lady of the theater, and his mother Cecilia (Emma Suárez), whose professional career is languishing after a certain glory in the rogue cabarets of the 80s and flirting with drugs. As in the Chekhovian drama of ‘The Seagull’, to which the film pays tribute in various ways, jealousy, misunderstood love and mutual dependence flow between them. It is during this beautiful period of Nora’s career when she discovers that her mother is keeping a secret that has scarred her for life.
“We strive to give the film a special tone, where the drama fits but also the humor. A humor emanating from the characters, which appears in the form of irony, of taunts thrown like arrows; an underground humor that runs through all the scenes. And there will also be room for more evocative moments, in the memories the characters make of the past. Moments when we approach the oneirical, or where the emotionally pure emerges,” say the directors.
The film has a very solid production behind which Gerardo Herrero stands. It has been rehearsing for several weeks and has a budget of almost 2.7 million euros. The film is set in Madrid, but for budgetary reasons it was mainly shot in Pamplona (Navarra is one of the communities that supports the most film shooting), according to Gerardo Herrero himself.
‘Someone who takes care of me’ is a production of What I never told you AIE and Tornasol Media, in which RTVE and Movistar+ also participate, and with the support of the ICAA. Latido Films will be responsible for international sales and A Contracorriente Films for distribution in Spain in cinemas.
