Serielizados Fest and Fotogramas will talk about the new Movistar Plus+ series, ‘La Mesías’, with its creators Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo.
After achieving success inside and outside our borders with Paquita Salas and Veneno, Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo return with La Mesías, a Movistar Plus+ original series in collaboration with Suma Content, with a radically different theme from the previous ones, this is “the most ambitious, rested and complex project we have carried out” according to the pair of creators.
The series follows Enric, a boy who is greatly impacted by the viral video of a Christian pop music group composed of five sisters. Enric is a man tormented by a childhood marked by religious fanaticism and the yoke of a mother with messianic delusions. This story will travel through several eras, beginning its journey in the 80’s until it reaches the present day.
La Mesías is a thriller about overcoming trauma, faith as a tool to fill the void and art as the only escape from terror.
Roger Casamajor, Macarena García, Lola Dueñas, Carmen Machi, Ana Rujas, Albert Pla, Amaia, Biel Rossell and Cecilia Roth head the cast of this family thriller which also features actresses Nora Navas, Gracia Olayo, Aixa Villagrán, Carla Díaz, Betsy Túrnez, Ángeles Ortega, Mari Paz Sayago and Rossy de Palma, among others.
“Our life in the last few months has been for and because of ‘The Messiah’. We had never faced a project of these dimensions. A madness that has been possible thanks to working with an absolutely dedicated team, in front of and behind the cameras. We couldn’t be more grateful,” commented Javier Ambrossi.
At Serielizados Fest we will be fortunate to host a session in which its creators will talk about the creative process, filming, character creation and working with actors. in one of the most anticipated and ambitious projects of the year.
“Two years after Veneno, we wanted to go a step further, composing an almost apocalyptic family drama and delving into faith, but from a dark and painful place,” explained its creators.
