María Ripoll films 'We will not kill ourselves with guns'

Turanga Films y A Whim of Productions They have started filming Nosotros no nos mataremos con pistolas, una dramedia producida por Lina Badenes y Belén Sánchez, con dirección de María Ripoll.

La película, ambientada y rodada en un pueblo costero de tradición de pescadores del levante valenciano, está escrita por Víctor Sánchez y Antonio Escámez y es la adaptación para la gran pantalla de la obra teatral homónima de Víctor Sánchez Rodríguez, ganadora del Premio Max Mejor Autoría Revelación 2016.

The film stars Ingrid García-Jonsson, Elena Martín, Joe Manjón, Lorena López and Carlos Troya. They all play a group of friends who meet again in the town after years without seeing each other to celebrate a special anniversary.

The film revolves around lost youth, the time that vanished and that one tries to recover, often desperately, and the ability and need, also more relevant every day, to reinvent oneself.

To the producers, Lina Badenes and Belén Sánchez, who together already produced the multi-award-winning film The innocence, by Lucía Alemany, this story immediately attracted them for its "choral, summery and acidic tone. We belong to a generation that has been able to claim difference and we want to put the focus on key issues of our time, and do it in an interesting and, at the same time, fun and cheeky way."

Filmax will be in charge of distributing the film.
