Movistar Plus+ presented its new original series, “The New Years,” at the Venice International Film Festival. Rodrigo Sorogoyen, has been accompanied by the protagonists Iria del Río and Francesco Carril, as well as the co-creators Sara Cano, Paula Fabra, and the co-directors Sandra Romero and David Martín de los Santos. It is a Movistar Plus+ original series in collaboration with Caballo Films and in association with ARTE France. The series will be distributed internationally by Movistar Plus+ International and will premiere on Movistar Plus+ this fall.
The 81st edition of the Venice International Film Festival has hosted the world premiere of the series, which consists of 10 episodes of around 45 minutes, divided into two halves: Part I and Part II. This is Sorogoyen's third time at La Mostra, after presenting his film “Mother” (based on a short film of the same name for which the director was nominated for an Oscar) in the Orizzonti Official Competition section in 2019 and forming part of the Official Selection's jury of the 79th edition of the event in 2022.
Created by Sara Cano, Paula Fabra and Sorogoyen, this series marks the filmmaker's return to a theme, that of relationships, which has been present in much of his filmography. "The New Years" shows the life journey of a couple over the course of a decade, narrated in 10 episodes that revolve around the same moment: the turn of the year.
Iria del Río (“The Bus of Life” “El Inmortal,” “El increíble finde menguante,” “Riot Police”) and Francesco Carril (“The Other Way Around,” “One Love,” “The Reconquest,” “Galgos”) play Ana and Óscar, the main characters of "The New Years.” Sorogoyen, also executive producer of the series, directs four of the ten episodes that make up the story. The other six episodes are directed by Sandra Romero (“Where The Silence Passes”) and David Martín de los Santos (“That Was LIfe”). Marina Rodríguez Colás and Antonio Rojano are also involved in the script.
