“Querer”
Movistar Plus+ original series "Querer" will have its world premiere in the Official Selection at the San Sebastian Film Festival, which runs from the 20th to the 28th of September. The four-episode series directed by Alauda Ruiz de Azúa (‘Lullaby’) was produce in collaboration with Feelgood Media and Kowalski Films.
"To premiere my first series at Zinemaldia is very special. ‘Querer' was born as a series, but beyond its episodic structure, I always visualised it from a cinematographic point of view. So I feel very honoured that its premiere is at Zinemaldia, in that context of love for cinema and in a cinema," said Alauda Ruiz de Azúa. "As director, that means something magical, to be able to live the story together with the audience from the seats and receive at that very moment the sensations or emotions of the audience. Moreover, ‘Querer’ is a series linked to the Basque Country from the script to the shooting and I am thrilled that the first time we share it with everyone will be in San Sebastian," she added.
In addition, "Querer" will also debut on Movistar Plus+ in October. "The viewer will find the story of how a rape accusation blows up an apparently conventional family. Miren reports her husband for rape after 30 years of marriage and this serious accusation forces her children to choose between their mother or their father. We wanted to push questions about sexual consent to the limit, to question the viewer as if they were a member of the family. There are questions that are difficult to answer and an intense emotional journey, as the judicial journey goes hand in hand with the family journey", she said.
"Querer" stars Nagore Aranburu ("Irati"), Pedro Casablanc ("B, The Film"), Miguel Bernardeau ("1899"), Iván Pellicer ("Paradise") and Loreto Mauleón ("God’s Crooked Lines"). Movistar Plus+ International manages the international sales of the series.
