Serielizados Fest previews ‘No me gusta conducir’, TNT’s new original series, with the presence of its director, Borja Cobeaga, and the leading actors, Juan Diego Botto and Lucía Caraballo.
Inspired by the director’s own experience, the series tells the story of Pablo (Juan Diego Botto), a 40-year-old university professor, somewhat self-absorbed and grumpy, who is forced to get his driving license. Pablo is a know-it-all who discovers when he signs up for driving school that he still has a lot to learn.
As soon as the classes starts, he will meet Yolanda (Lucía Caraballo), one of his students at the university, with whom Pablo will establish a curious relationship: teacher and student at the faculty, classmates at the driving school.
“I got my driver’s license at the age of 42, and everyone who heard about my late learning told me their own anecdotes or traumas from their driving school days. Either they got it as soon as they turned 18 and at the first time, or when they were older, after many attempts and many shots to control their nerves. All of them had a peculiar driving school teacher, an examiner who had a grudge against them and they remember their driving school experience as a source of stories to tell. My own experience is what gave rise to this series”, says Borja Cobeaga.
Juan Diego Botto is Pablo
