An original Movistar Plus+ series in collaboration with Suma Content, written, directed and produced by Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo, which will be available “soon”.
Spanish creators Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo have presented in Madrid La Mesías, a new original series from Movistar Plus+ that will be hitting the platform soon. La Mesías is the most ambitious, thoughtful and complex project of the creative duo after hits like La Llamada, Paquita Salas and Veneno.
Javier Calvo explained their goals with La Mesías: “We want to go a step further than we did in Veneno, by creating an almost apocalyptic family drama and delving once again into faith, but from a darker and more painful place”.
Javier Ambrossi added: “It has been almost a year and a half of very intense work. Of documentation, research, writing, making an in-depth study of the issues we want to address. I couldn’t be happier to be sharing with the world today this series that has found its home on Movistar Plus+”.
The event was also attended by Domingo Corral, fiction director at Movistar Plus+: “Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi are exceptional creators, with a unique, personal and universal perspective. Movistar Plus+ is a Spanish platform that supports the best creative talent in Spain. We are now fortunate to be able to work with Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi, who will undoubtedly help us tell the stories we want to create”.
Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo join a stellar group of talents working with Movistar+, including Alejandro Amenábar, Rodrigo Sorogoyen, Anna R. Costa, Alberto Rodríguez, and Leticia Dolera.
La Mesías is a Movistar Plus+ original series in collaboration with Suma Content, written, directed and produced by Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo.
Movistar Plus+ International will be handling the international sales of the series.
Synopsis
The viral video of a Christian pop music group made up of five sisters impacts the life of Enric, a man tormented by a childhood shaped by religious fanaticism and the yoke of a mother with messianic delusions.
La Mesías is a family thriller that deals with overcoming trauma, faith as a tool to fill the void and art as the only escape from terror.
