Official competition: Penelope Cruz and Antonio Banderas behind the scenes

The official competition, directed by Mariano Connie and Gaston Duprat, introduces a billionaire businessman who decides to make a film to leave his mark on history.

Then he hired the best: the famous film director Lola Cuevas, the Hollywood star Felix Rivero and the radical theater actor Ivan Torres. But if their talent is great … their ego is even bigger!

Behind the scenes of the film with this bizarre comedy, Antonio Banderas again meets Penelope Cruz after The Passenger Lovers (2013) and Pain and Glory (2019).

While there are many films that show behind the scenes of film production (how they are done, production problems, difficulties and challenges during project implementation), none of them say everything that makes the actors cry, laugh. And generate emotions.

Film directors Mariano Connie and Gaston Duprat trust: “This film explores this complex and unusual relationship that is usually hidden from the general public.”

The official competition is built around rehearsals before the film is shot. Each of them works almost independently with their own conclusion and is a master class on how the three actors at the center of the film create emotions.

“Undoubtedly, Penelope, Antonio and Oscar were fascinated by the opportunity to participate in the film, where they could talk about their profession and actually think about the issues that affect their profession from a very educated point of view.”Mariano Connie and Gaston Duprat were mentioned.
