Canal+ Acquires Rafael Cobos’ Canneseries Winner ‘The Left Handed Son,’ From Movistar Plus+ (EXCLUSIVE)
The directorial debut of highly respected Spanish screenwriter Rafael Cobos, ‘The Left Handed Son’ won best short form series at 2023's Canneseries.
A psychological thriller with a lyrical undertow which surfaces to moving effect in key scenes, “The Left-Handed Son” marks the auspicious directorial debut of Rafael Cobos, the career-long co-scribe of Alberto Rodríguez, from 2005’s “7 Virgins” through international hit “Marshland” to 2017’s “The Plague,” still one of the biggest series which Movistar Plus+ has ever made. The series is set in Cobos’ native Seville, both its upscale restaurants and humble high-rise periphery where Lola finds an unexpected friend who provides her some of the guidance she desperately lacks. María León, who broke out in her first major movie role in 2011’s “The Sleeping Voice,” winning best actress at the San Sebastian Film Festival and a Spanish Academy Goya, plays Lola.
