20 Projects Set to Focus Industry Attention at Spain’s Conecta Fiction


Titles include projects from Erik Barmack’s Wild Sheep Content, “Lupin’s co-creator François Uzan and  ‘Cold Courage’ writer Brendan Foley.

Inspired by the life of Gerta Pohorylle, a young Jewish photographer who finds freedom fighting Franco’s forces in the Spanish Civil War and was quite possibly the author of Robert Capa’s iconic combat photo “Falling Soldier.” Produced by France-based Chakalaka and Munich-based Lieblings Films (“Ruby Red”). From Richard Hurst, a writer on “Miranda” and “Bluestone 42,” and Steven Bawol co-creator of cop series “Section de Recherches” and an executive producer on Canal +’s “Borgia.” A dramedy, affable Irish widower Brendan rents out his Paris apartment, trying to solve his clients’ love problems. Produced by Corte y Confección, which backed Canneseries winner “Perfect Life” and “The Invisible Line.” Set in 2022 Barcelona, Inspector Salgado – short-fused, violent, macho – and agent Leire Castro – rational, feminist, sometimes naive – investigate a high-society death, which may be related to that of a girl 17 years earlier.
