Lolita vindicates the Kellys in ‘The Invisibles’, the new SkyShowtime series about the chambermaids

“Nobody sees them, we all need them.” That is the slogan with which the new SkyShowtime series has been promoted. Who are the protagonists of this story? Neither more nor less than those women whose work is crucial for others to enjoy their long-awaited days off. The paradox is that while some are on vacation, others are suffering from insane professional conditions.

‘Las invisibles’ is a series to raise awareness about the employment situation of cleaners in tourist accommodation. The plot introduces us to a group of chambermaids who work in a hotel on the Costa Brava. As they face extreme work chores, they try to get their own lives afloat. Presenting the reality of these women, who struggle to earn a living, the plot does not forget to shed light, because despite the harsh situation they live in, they always have a reason to smile. Because in ‘Las invisibles’ overflows with optimism, self-improvement, dignity and camaraderie.

This moving story is divided into 8 episodes that will hit the platform every Monday starting June 5. Produced by Paramount and Morena Films, is the new creation by Héctor Lozano directed by Menna Fité. Both move from the classrooms of the ‘Merlí: Sapere Aude’ university to this hotel located on the Mediterranean coast. The protagonists are Lolita, María Pujalte, Elena Irureta, Yaël Belicha, Marina Campos, Yoshira Escárrega and Eva Martin among other.

After ‘Medical Center’, Lolita returns to the small screen as Espe, the leader of these kellys who will fight to keep her life and work afloat. FOTOGRAMAS has had the opportunity to speak with the protagonist so that she can tell us about this experience of becoming a chambermaid. The actress really wanted to do a series again. “It caught my attention because of what it was about, which was to focus on these women“, he assures. “I liked the cast, the director, the producer, Morena Films and I jumped headfirst. I was very excited because I think my character is sweet,” she confesses.

A role like this requires preparation, and she, like the entire cast, had to train to become housekeepers. They were taught to clean in the time that the Kellys really have to do a room, “which is minimal,” he qualifiesand in which a bed has to be made, mop and vacuum cleaner, etc.

Every time Spanish fiction welcomes more stories of female characters over 50 years of age “and it is something that gives me great joy“, declares the also singer. “I am already 65 years old, and I love to see that every time there are women of 45, 50, 60 or 80. I believe that an actress does not lose capacity if she is in her good moment and her head is fine. There are still interesting roles. In addition, women of a certain age have an experience that can teach youth”guess.

And it is that this project is a touching and very instructive story. “It is a perfect product to see with the family. You are going to learn and above all you are going to become aware that there is a group that is invisible, but in the end it is not so much. It is a production that has its moments of tears and drama, but there is also room for laughter.”

In fact, Lolita remains as a memory with the laughter and good vibes that she had so much on the set. “It is a fabulous team and I would love to see a second season and with the same cast“. With more than forty years in the profession, the actress does not think about retirement. The next thing will be a play in October. That will be discussed later.

Meanwhile, ‘The invisibles’ await us every Monday starting on the 5th on Skyshowtime.
