Ian de la Rosa studied film here, transitioned here… Barcelona has been his home for a long time, and now he returns after making a major impact in Málaga with his debut feature, Iván & Hadoum. Winner of the Teddy Award at the Berlinale, the film draws us into an impossible love story set in de la Rosa’s native Almería. Among other things, the director tells us how he found his outstanding lead actors—in the most unexpected way.
