The Catalan teen hit, after its premiere on Filmin and its tour of festivals.

Rubén Sánchez, ESCAC student, who has made more than 10 short films, two of them premiered on Filmin. His second premiere, Una Mujer frente al Mar, also premiered on Filmin and has been selected for THE MONTHLY FILM FESTIVAL in the UK. He has just finished shooting Post, with Marco Cáceres (La Trinchera Infinita, Toyboy) and now, he is preparing the festival tour of Lamento, his major work as a filmmaker. A sequence shot starring Sara Jiménez (Julieta, Los Rodríguez and Más allá, Maktub).

Joc de Nens was a short film produced by Pijama Studio, with music by the group La Casa Azul, known for their song ‘La Revolución Sexual’. An original idea that Rubén Sánchez shot when he was 20 years old. The script arises from a visual and musical bet, which narrates how a boy copes with the loss of his best friend the year he starts university and feels different from his classmates.

CULTURE / CINEMA. From an internship at Escac to Filmin and a tour of film festivals. The young film director Rubén Sánchez, known for films such as (Lamento, El noi del 98, Joc de Nens). He presents Una dona davant el Mar, a simple and tender film about the love between a mother and her sick child.

My aim with this film is to tell an honest love story and to present a female character who is able to heal her wounds and reconnect with her emotions. The innovation of this film lies not only in the subject matter, but in the point of view from which it is explained. The focus is not on the trauma, but on the possibility of acceptance.

For me, it is especially important to present a model of a healthy relationship between mother and child, escaping from the toxic clichés that we usually find on the screens. That is why the female character, far from being a victim, is a strong, assertive person, and that is also the reason why I have built a sensitive co-protagonist with sufficient emotional intelligence to accompany her in this complex process. I have based the work with the actors on guided meditations, which I have made especially for them, with the aim of reaching a state of real connection and vulnerability.

The maternal relationship is treated naturally, an emotional connection accompanied by bad news and how our character is able to accept and carry the pain inside without externalising it, with understanding and love. -Rubén Sánchez.
