Before Non-existent placeAnna Castillo on the other side of the shipwreck
So when he is asked the question if in his opinion Non-existent place resonates with the terrible news of the migration crisisthe actress wants to put everything in its place and doesn’t use language.
Every day people die at sea and it’s terrible. But “Nowhere” is not about that. Previously I made the film “Mediterranean”, a dramatic film that tells the story of the founding of OpenArms (an NGO whose mission is to protect people at sea trying to reach Europe, ed.), while “Nowhere” is set in a dystopian reality. The totalitarian regime only serves as a context to understand why this girl finds herself in a container.
So instead of forcing yourself to pull a link between a survival pure entertainment and the migration crisis in the MediterraneanAnna Castillo prefers to highlight this 2021 film, Mediterraneantelling a true story and describing this crisis as terrible as it is authentic.
The synopsis of Mediterranean : In September 2015, shocked by the photo of Aylan, a Kurdish child whose body was found dead on a Turkish beach, Spanish lifeguards Óscar Camps and Gerard Canals went to the island of Lesbos where there are camps for migrants and refugees , ready to risk their lives in the waters of the Mediterranean in the hope of a better life. Óscar, Gérard but also Esther and Nico try to help them.
True story and solid casting
Unlike Non-existent placewhose inspiration from reality was limited to its authors’ information on the physical conditions and sensations of migrants, Mediterranean aims to be as realistic as possible in telling the true story of OpenArms’ founders.
To do this, the director was able to count on a chosen cast with Anna Castillo in the role of Esther, Eduard Fernández, Dani Rovira to play Óscar and Gérard, and the always perfect Sergi López in the role of Nico.
Mediterranean East available on VOD on MyCanal.
