TALES OF THE LOCKDOWN

• Fernando Colomo
• Alvaro Fernández
• David Marqués
• Miguel Bardem
• Juan Diego Botto
• Luis Tosar

An original project launched by the prestigious production company Morena Films (“Champions”) during the confinement forced by the Covid 19 pandemic. Five self-concluding episodes of about 20 minutes duration directed by the filmmakers from a distance and in which the actors acted as image and sound technicians and even makeup artists. Five stories ranging from romantic comedy to thriller, black comedy or horror, directed  by Fernando Colomo (“Tigres de papel”), David Marqués (“En fuera de juego”), Miguel Bardem (“La mujer más fea del mundo”), Juan Diego Botto (“En los márgenes”) and Álvaro Fernández-Armero (“Ocho apellidos marroquís”). Among the actors involved were several Goya winners, such as Luis Tosar, Alberto Ammán or Manuela Velasco, and even an international footballer from Real Madrid, Isco Alarcón.

An apprentice hit man who wants to surpass his mentor, two friends whom everyone except themselves sees as a couple, a Real Madrid football player about to embark on an acting career, a serial killer with a heart who finds his soul mate and a corrupt landowner cornered when a “parcel” arrives at his door make up these five self-contained stories, ranging from romantic comedy to drama, as well as terror, dark humour and thriller.
