Spain’s Álex Montoya Talks Málaga Competition Title ‘La Casa’: Adapted From Paco Roca’s Eisner-Winning Graphic Novel


The film centers around a family settling their fathers estate while coping with the memories that journey entails.

A myriad of sentiments converge when estranged siblings meet to unpack the weight of their father’s recent death in Spain’s Álex Montoya’s third feature “La Casa,” adapted from the Eisner-winning graphic novel by Paco Roca and sold by Latido Films. Written by Montoya and Joana M. Ortueta, the project serves as a bittersweet rumination on regret, duty and the ties that bind us, proving a reflective journey through collective consciousness that’s held to task as the three work to rekindle a semblance of affection while sifting through hefty and lingering recollections. The cast includes Goya-winner David Verdaguer (“Jokes & Cigarettes”), Luis Callejo (“Valley of the Dead”), Óscar de la Fuente (“The Good Boss”), Olivia Molina (“Bajo Sospecha”), María Romanillos (“The Consequences”), Lorena López (“Los cómplices”), Marta Belenguer (“Asamblea”), Jordi Aguilar (“The Bar”), Miguel Rellán (“Tata Mía”) and Tosca Montoya.
