“This film is so powerful that it’s already been sold to France, Italy, Greece, Taiwan and China, but when it meets audiences at the Toronto and San Sebastián Film Festivals, it will have an even stronger impact,” asserts Antonio Saura, of Latido Films, referring to one of the star titles in the catalogue of the Madrid-based agency that he manages, backed up by Juan Torres and Óscar Alonso.
