Mar Olid shoots the rom-com 'If I've seen you I don't remember'

Filmax y Bixagu Entertainment come together in 'If I've seen you I don't remember', a romantic comedy that "laughs at romanticism" directed by Mar Olid whose filming has already begun in San Sebastián.

If I have seen you I don't remember is defined as a romantic comedy “hooligan and unabashedly funny” that will hit theaters next season. Directed by Mar. They were (Without Coverage, To the other neighborhood) and written by Eric Navarro (Crazy about her, Mom or Dad, Barcelona night), Pol Cortecans (I know who you are, everyone lies) y Natalia Duran (Crazy for her, Looking for the north), the film proposes a irreverent look at gender.

The feature film plays with classic topics of the genre, such as impossible loves, misunderstandings or unexpected turns to turn them around with “saudacity, irony and a lot of humor”, proposing a contemporary look at love, identity and the decisions that mark who we are. With references like Pretty Woman, My best friend's wedding o Something is wrong with Mary, and echoes of Eight Basque surnames, the film also combines classic plots of con artists and thieves with universal comedy and the unique character Basque.

To Mar. They were, the film connects directly with the tradition of the genre: “When I read the script I couldn't help but think about all the romantic comedies that have marked us, from the classics of Billy Wilder even titles like Notting Hill, Love Actually or Bridget Jones's Diary.
