(Europa Press). The premieres of Spanish productions mark the end of October and the beginning of November in theaters, with the release of Escape, Salve María, Yo no soy esa or Los Williams, although they will not be the only highlights of the billboard, which also includes Anora, recent winner of the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Festival. In Anora, Sean Baker once again portrays characters with drug problems and immersed in prostitution. On this occasion, the protagonist, named Anora and played by Mikey Madison, is a young sex worker from Brooklyn and meets the son of a Russian oligarch, whom she marries a few days after meeting. This news is not understood in Russia and leads her young husband’s parents to try to annul the marriage at any cost. Rodrigo Cortés returns to cinema with Escape, starring Mario Casas, who plays N, a broken man who wants to never have to make a single decision in his life again. N only wants to live in jail and will do whatever it takes to get it. Another premiere is Salve María, one of the big winners at Seminci (Valladolid). Mar Coll returns to cinema almost a decade after her last film. In ‘Salve María’ she tells the story of a young writer who has just become a mother and comes across the news of an event: a French woman has drowned her 10-month-old twins in the bathtub. Maria becomes obsessed with the infanticide, and questions ‘why did she kill them?’ From that moment on, the shadow of infanticide will stalk her as a dizzying possibility. Also premiering is the documentary Los Williams, directed by Raúl de la Fuente, which follows Basque soccer brothers Iñaki and Nico Williams, who play for Athletic Bilbao, and are of Ghanaian descent. The production allows us to observe how the two players confront their past and their future, through the conflicts that have marked their lives: racism, identity, frustration, ambition, and success. The Spanish comedy is represented by María Ripoll’s Yo no soy esa, starring Verónica Echegui. Susana wakes up after 20 years in a coma. Now she is a teenager in a lady’s body in the 21st century. Susana will have to manage in a world where nothing is familiar to her and she will have to learn to live in it. Another film already in theaters is Clint Eastwood’s latest, Jury No. 2, which confronts viewers with a moral dilemma experienced by star Nicholas Hoult (‘Superman’, ‘The Menu’), who plays a family man who, while serving on a jury in a high-profile murder trial, finds himself struggling with a serious moral dilemma. Halloween will be represented on the billboard by Damien Leone’s Terrifier 3 in a film that brings Christmas forward. Art the clown is set to unleash mayhem on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they sleep peacefully on Christmas Eve. Simon Delacre’s The Apocalypse of St. John invites viewers on a journey through the mysterious visions of the Bible’s most enigmatic book.
For children’s audiences, Elli and the Monster Team arrives with a story about a little homeless ghost, based on the children’s book by Klaus Baumgart.
