Tierra de nadie sigue la historia de tres amigos: Mateo el Gallego, un heroico –a su pesar– guardia civil, Juan El Antxale, un pescador convertido en narco por la mala suerte y en el paro, y Benito el Yeye, un resignado e inteligente depositario judicial siempre a medio camino entre la ley y la delincuencia.

Se ha publicado el primer tráiler de la película “El 47”, dirigida por Marcel Barrena y coescrita junto a Alberto Marini (“El Desconocido”).

Basada en hechos reales, “El 47” se sitúa en los años 60 y 70. La periferia de Barcelona se ha formado y construido en su mayor parte por inmigrantes extremeños y andaluces que han levantado con sus propias manos barrios como Torre Baró. Aun así, no están considerados como parte de la ciudad. Sus chabolas ni siquiera tienen agua corriente o electricidad. Harto de que el Ayuntamiento sostenga que el transporte público no puede llegar a la zona porque las calles son demasiado estrechas e inseguras, el conductor de autobús de la Tmb Manolo Vital intentará demostrar, al volante de “El 47”, que las autoridades se equivocan.

The Mediapro Studio’s “El 47,” the rousing true story of “a man, a bus and a neighborhood’s fate,” bows its official international teaser in Variety.

Helmed by multi-Goya award-winner Marcel Barrena (“Mediterraneo”), it follows bus driver Manolo Vital who is frustrated with the Barcelona City Council’s claim that public transport cannot reach the Torre Baró district due to narrow and unsafe roads. He seizes control of the route 47 bus to prove them wrong.

Many Torre Baró residents participated as extras, having witnessed or been related to those who experienced Vital’s 1978 challenge, showcasing the neighborhood’s unity and pride.

Shot in sepia tones, the drama, co-penned by Barrena and Alberto Marini (“The Stranger”), features a stellar cast led by Eduard Fernández, winner of three Goya awards, a San Sebastian Silver Shell and three Malaga Festival Silver Biznagas, along with Clara Segura, a Goya nominee for “Creatura.”

Termina el rodaje del thriller de suspense “Tierra de Nadie”, del director Albert Pintó. El rodaje se llevó a cabo en diferentes localizaciones de la provincia de Cádiz y luego continuó en la Comunidad de Madrid.

La trama sigue la historia de tres amigos: Mateo el Gallego, un heroico – a su pesar – guardia civil, Juan El Antxale, un pescador convertido en narco por la mala suerte y en el paro, y Benito el Yeye, un resignado e inteligente depositario judicial siempre a medio camino entre la ley y la delincuencia.

Inspired by the simmering one-man rebellion that kicked off a tremendous tide-change in Barcelona, writer-director Marcel Barrena (“Mediterraneo: The Law of the Sea”) and Spain’s The Mediapro Studio have begun filming “The 47.”

Tms has released first look images. The premise centers on social activist bus driver Manolo Vital, played by three-time Goya Award winner Eduardo Fernández (“Smoke & Mirrors”), as he grows increasingly outraged at the abject neglect faced by immigrant communities outside the city’s center, whose neighborhoods, peeled by immigrants from Extremadura and Andalusia, had only just achieved running water.

Stonewalled by the City Council, Vital seizes a bus used on Barcelona’s #47 line and extends its route to Torre Baró in an attempt to prove that the vehicle can safely service the outlying communities in need.

“What the film shows is that this good man tried to convince everyone that it was feasible. The contempt of...

El 47, the latest feature from Spanish production powerhouse Mediapro Studio, is kicking into gear with cameras set to roll on the pic in Barcelona in the coming days.

Directed by Marcel Barrena (Mediterraneo: The Law of the Sea), the pic is billed as a “tribute to the working class and to the men and women who built our cities, not only physically but also culturally.” The pic tells the story of Manolo Vital, a bus driver who helped create modern Barcelona during the city’s 1970s boom. Barrena co-wrote the pic with Alberto Marini (El desconocido).

Synopsis reads: In the 1960s and 70s Spain, rural Barcelona was built, for the most part, by immigrants from Extremadura and Andalusia who, although they had built the neighborhoods with their bare hands, were still not considered part of the city. Their homes didn’t even have running water or electricity. Tired of hearing...
