Filmax Snags Pau Teixidor Feature ‘Birth,’ From ‘Life and Nothing More’ Producer Aquí y Allí Films (EXCLUSIVE)
Inspired by real facts, the project teams Madrid-based Aquí y Allí with Barcelona's Minoría Absoluta and Romania's Avanpost.
Co-written by Teixidor and Lorena Iglesias (“Towards Bruce Lee’s Tomb”), and inspired by real events, the feature narrates the moving story of Lucia, a teenager sent to a centre for young, pregnant girls in Spain, in 1982. Lucía ends up in Peñagrande, a reformatory for teen mothers-to-be where she will forge strong friendships with the other girls and discover the awful truth that her not yet born child is to be taken away from her. The project teams Madrid-based production outfit Aquí y Allí Films with Barcelona’s Minoría Absoluta (“The Teacher Who Promised the Sea”) and Romania’s Avanpost (“Quo Vadis, Aida?”).
