Álex García and Elena Anaya will be the cronies of Galicia in a film in which there will also be the participation of Arón Piper, Luisa Mayol and Pepa Gracia
The shooting of ‘Fatum’ has ended in Pontevedra, a dramatic thriller directed by Juan Galiñanes (co-writer of ‘Who kills iron’), which features three figures from Spanish cinema, Luis Tosar, Álex García and Elena Anaya, in a story about health, money and love, with a violent robbery. Arón Piper, Luisa Mayol and Pepa Gracia complete the cast. Juan Galiñanes himself and Alberto Marini (“The Unknown”) sign the script.
The plot shows a compulsive gambler, Sergio (played by Tosar), who, although he has promised his partner that he has conquered that damn addiction, is tipped by a match fixer in a football game and, intent on getting all the money back. lately lost, he returns to his usual bookmaker with the intention of winning. Everything seems to be going as planned, but suddenly Alejo (played by Arón Piper), another repeat offender, storms into the room armed. The police are warned that something strange is going on there and GEO sniper Pablo (Álex García) is pressured by Commissioner Costa (Elena Anaya) to intervene; but this officer’s ghost is not there, but in the hospital where his son’s life is at stake. Until one shot changes Sergio and Pablo’s lives forever. An original and exciting vision of the weight of fate and our nearest future, a story to the extreme set in just 12 hours.
Director Juan Galiñanes assures that “all the characters in the film are moved by emotions such as love, revenge and guilt, which is why it is very easy to empathize with them: because in ‘Fatum’ there are no bad guys or good guys, just people who cope with the vagaries of fate.
Juan Galiñanes (Pontevedra, 1980), as well as co-writer of the script for ‘Who kills iron’, by Paco Plaza, has seen his first live-action film here after watching numerous commercials, several short films (‘El buffoon and la infanta ‘, ‘Sailor’) and some episodes of ‘Serramoura’ and ‘A Estiba’, in addition to the editor of films like ‘Dhogs’ and series like ‘Hierro’ and ‘La Unidad’. In 2011, he directed, wrote and edited the animated film ‘Holy Night! Silent Night?’.
Emma Lustres, producer of the film (and of hits such as ‘Celda 211’), of Vaca Films, for her part, confirms that it is “a very dynamic film, with a complex structure and tackling classic noir themes with a contemporary perspective. A film full of suspense and adrenaline, but with a strong social background that overwhelms the action, and with a dramatic charge that appeals to the most universal feelings».
The production company Vaca Films continues to choose the Galician city as the backdrop for its creations. ‘Invader’, ‘We are honest people’, ‘The unknown’, ‘The shadow of the law’ or ‘Who kills with iron’, in addition to series such as ‘The mess you leave’, ‘The unit’ or ‘To the sky ‘, shows landscapes of the city and its surroundings.
‘Fatum’ is a production of Vaca Films, in co-production with the French company Playtime Productions and with the participation of RTVE, Amazon and TVG. It has the support of ICAA and AGADIC. It is distributed by Universal Pictures International Spain and international sales are handled by the French agency Playtime.
