Rodrigo Grande shoots in Argentina and Spain 'At the end of the tunnel'

The film is produced by Tornasol Films, El Arbol SERVICIOS and Haddock Films.

Rodrigo Grande has started filming the film At the end of the tunnel, starring Leonardo Sbaraglia, Pablo Echarri, Clara Lago, Federico Luppi and Javier Godino.

The film that is already being shot in Argentina will continue filming in Spain.

La película está escrita y dirigida por Rodrigo Grande y producida por Tornasol Films (España, Mariela Besuievsky, Gerardo Herrero), El Árbol Contenidos (Argentina, Pablo Echarri, Martín Seefeld) y Haddock Films (Argentina, Julia Di Veroli); en coproducción con Telefé (Argentina, Axel Kuschevasky) y la participación de TVE (España).

Grande reconoce que tras rodar Presos del olvido y Cuestión de principios “quería trabajar un género diferente a mis dos películas anteriores. Lo primero fue sentarme horas y días en un bar y pensar. Tomar notas. Descartar mucho. Mezclar ideas. Es así como nace esta película, un thriller policiaco de suspenso con una atmósfera inspirada en los relatos de Edgar Allan Poe, de casas habitadas por fantasmas del pasado y ladrones que las rodean”.

"The image will emphasize the chiaroscuro; the light and shadow that confront each other in the story will enhance the oppression of the house to increase tension and danger. The sound will sustain the atmosphere of intrigue, accentuating the paranoia and threats that stalk the protagonist even when he does not see them. Moaning of water pipes, creaking floors, sounds of squeaking doors and drains," he adds.

His goal as a director is that "the audience, after being kept in suspense for two hours, has a positive experience at the end of the film. At no point did I consider making a personal story, but it ended up being that."

Chiaroscuro

Joaquín is a man who is in a wheelchair. His house, which saw better days, is now gloomy and dark. Berta, a striptease dancer, and her daughter Betty knock on her door one day, responding to an ad that Joaquín placed to rent a room. His presence brightens the house and enlivens Joaquín's life.

One night working in his basement, where he repairs computers, Joaquín hears an almost imperceptible noise. He puts his ear against the wall and realizes that a group of thieves, led by Galereto, is building a tunnel that passes under his house to rob a nearby bank.

Joaquín watches the thieves, takes notes, and manages to know the robbery plan in detail. Thus, he realizes that Berta is actually Galereto's girlfriend, and that she rented the room to control him, distract him and prevent him from hearing the tunnel noises they are making. Joaquín begins to execute a plan against time that will allow him to frustrate the purposes of Galereto and his gang.
