Reposado and The Mediapro Studio begin filming in Madrid, Móstoles and other towns in the Autonomous Community of this film that represents the reunion of the 'Mondays in the Sun' team 18 years later.

This week the filming of The good boss, the new movie Fernando León de Aranoa, starring Javier Bardem and produced by Rested PC y The Mediapro Studio which represents the reunion 18 years after the team that made it possible Mondays in the sun, a film awarded the Golden Shell at the 2002 San Sebastián Festival and with 5 Goya Awards, including Best Film, Best Director and Best Actor for Bardem.

The good pattern is the counterplane of Mondays in the sun. If that film dealt with unemployment, this one describes the precarious landscape of employment with similar aesthetic and narrative keys. A choral story woven of stories that intertwine and interact perversely, crossed by the seductive personality of Blanco, the owner of a family business played by Javier Bardem, who stars in a tragicomic story, a comedy with a fierce and funny look at the personal and work relationships within this company that employs fifty workers.

Bardem is accompanied by an extensive cast that includes names such as Manolo Solo, Almudena Amor, Óscar de la Fuente, Sonia Almarcha, Fernando Albizu, Tarik Rmili, Rafa Castejón, Celso Bugallo, Martín Páez and Yael Belicha.

The filming of the film will end in December, and will take place entirely in the Autonomous Community of Madrid.
