Kepa Sojo begins filming his second feature film, 'Little Switzerland'

The film will be produced by Nadie es perfecto (Kiko Martínez), in co-production with the Basque production company Kuttuna Filmak and the Portuguese Stopline Films.

Little Switzerland, the Basque director's second feature film Kepa Sojo, began filming this week in Álava.

The cast of the film includes well-known faces from the Spanish audiovisual scene such as Maggie Civantos, Jon Plazaola, Ingrid García-Jonsson, Secun de la Rosa, Enrique Villén, Karra Elejalde, Ramón Barea, Lander Otaola, Mikel Losada, Maribel Salas, Kandido Uranga, Iñigo Salinero and Susana Soleto.

Also in the film will be the Portuguese actor Pepe Rapazote, well known in his country, whom we have seen in international series such as Narcos or Shameless.

The filming will take place over seven weeks in the towns of Artziniega, Aiara-Ayala, Laudio-Llodio and the capital of Alava Vitoria-Gasteiz, as well as in the Biscayan towns of Orozko and Abadiño. The people of Artziniega will be the alter ego of the imaginary Tellería.

The film will be produced by No one is perfect (Kiko Martínez), in co-production with the Basque production company Kuttuna Filmak and the Portuguese company Stopline Films. The film participated by RTVE will be distributed by Entertainment One.

Little Switzerland tells the story of the adventures of the inhabitants of an imaginary Castilian village located in the centre of the Basque Country called Tellería, which wishes, after 700 years of history, to become part of the Basque territory. After the refusal of the government of the latter community to allow the town to pass into its territory, a curious find in the sanctuary of the town will cause the daring inhabitants of Tellería to ask for its annexation, to none other than one of the most developed countries in the world: Switzerland.
