This week there will be three independent premieres of the Spanish film industry including two fiction based movies and one documentary.

The writer/director Borja Manso and co-writer Borja Cobeaga will open "Amigos" (Friends), starring Ernesto Alterio, Diego Martín, Alberto Lozano, Goya Toledo and Manuela Velasco. "Amigos" is a comedy that reveals the story of four buddies who have been friends since they were kids. One of them dies as adult leaving behind him a huge inheritance, and makes a posthumous proposal in which he promeses to leave all his money for one of the three friends. Although there is one condition... the inheritance goes for the one who manages to obtain the best television audiences until the end of the year. The production companies in charge are Películas Pendelton and Telecinco Cinema.

Also will have it's premiere this week the comedy, "Un Mundo Casi Perfecto" (An Almost Perfect World) directed and written by Esteban and José Miguel Ibarretxe, starring Javier Merino, Antonio Dechent, Álex Angulo, Velilla Valbuena, Emilia Uutinen, Mairim Pérez, Jon Ariño and Javivi. "Un Mundo casi Perfecto" tells the story of a scriptwriter who's life isn't going that well. In addition to his poor economical situation and a recent separation from his fiancée, he turns into a witness of a bank robbery. The film is produced by Armonika Entertainment and Silverspace Animation Studios.






The third premiere this week is "La Noche que no Acaba" (All Night Long) by Isaki Lacuesta which is a documentary about Ava Gardner's experiences in Spain. The famous Hollywood star shot for the first time in Spain in the 1950's while she was making "Pandora and the Flying Dutchman", and she fell in love with the country. "All Night Long" begins symbolically in those first shots she made in Spain and ends with the last work she did in Spain in the 1980's: "Harem". Ava Gardner used to say she hated to see her own films for she didn't recognize herself in them. She chose Spain as a "hiding place" because, by her own words, Spain had the same faults as she did.
