'My other Jon' will be filmed in La Palma and Madrid directed by Paco Arango

Calcon and Abuela Jon produce My other Jon, fourth feature film by Paco Arango whose filming will take place from July 18 to September 4 in various locations in La Palma and Madrid.

Carmen Maura accompanies Arango in this adventure playing Merche, a mischievous woman who, upon hearing the news of her serious illness, decides to fulfill her last wishes. For this reason, he proves firsthand this idea of renting bodies by entering the body of Jon, that Basque truck driver that the filmmaker imagined in his day, whom he brings to life. Fernando Albizu. This experiment will lead “to a most absurd comedy provided with large doses of tenderness.”

Olivia Molina, Rossy de Palma y Carlos Santos together with Maura and Albizu, they lead the cast of this film which, as happened with Arango's three previous films (Letter, What Really Matters (The Healer) y The Rodríguezes and the Beyond), you will see how your benefits will be aimed at improving the situation of children with cancer through the Aladina Foundation, which he presides. In fact, thanks to his previous work, Arango has been able to raise and donate more than 7 million euros helping children in Spain and other countries. On this occasion, its goal is expanded once again and a part of the profits will also go towards reaching out to the island of The Palm, to help the victims of the volcano.

My other Jon will be distributed in Spain by Wanda Vision, while its international reach will be taken care of Cinepolis.

Synopsis of My other Jon

Merche (Carmen Maura), a woman about to turn 76, is told that she has very little time left to live. Determined to make her last wishes come true, she engages her three best friends from her villa in some pranks beyond their years: purposely getting trapped at night in El Corte Inglés and even hiring a go-go artist.

Among his wishes is also to be able to see the sea for the last time. For this reason, he invites his daughter Rocío (Olivia Molina) to visit the island of La Palma, but at the last minute Merche's health prevents her from making the trip. They receive the surprising news that an eccentric scientist (Rossy de Palma) has managed to transmute the soul of an elderly person into the corpse of a recently deceased person for three days to fulfill any dream.

Determined to share an unforgettable journey between mother and daughter, Merche's soul will be introduced inside the only corpse available: a big 58-year-old Basque truck driver (Fernando Albizu) to begin a crazy adventure. Meanwhile, Merche's body will remain plugged in and well cared for to be reintroduced upon her return from La Palma.

When Mark (Carlos Santos), Rocío's husband, receives the unpleasant news that his wife is not in the Canary Islands with her mother-in-law, but rather having a love affair with a big Basque man, he will show up in La Palma. There is no coherent explanation that Rocío can give her husband to make him believe that Jon is her mother-in-law. Even more so when Jon, that is, Merche, mischievously reiterates to his son-in-law that he is his wife's lover.
