The reason this film has not existed before is because it was in Spanish. Because the market is a market dominated by English and big productions. This is a big production… in Spanish. And that doesn’t exist.

And it’s a film that is breaking, or trying to break, a barrier. A glass ceiling that is there imposed by the market, which is dominated by English and big productions from Hollywood.

And I want to tell our stories… in Spanish.

And it is an effort that has taken us ten years and we are very proud of it. And that people assume it as a success of all of us, to me is super important.

I’ve been trying to start the book for days (scared of the pain it will cause me), then I decided today I was going to read at least one chapter, because I really want to do it.

Then I did… And chapter 2 had me crying at almost 4AM. I don’t know how I’ll do this, I’m terrified now.
