Emiliano De Pablos Madrid-based Begin Again Films has picked up Spanish distribution and international sales rights to Juan Gautier’s psychological thriller “El aspirante” (“The Aspirant”), about initiation into a masculine universe revolving around hazing of a university residence. “El aspirante” plays at this year’s Málaga Work in Progress’ WIP España sidebar, an industry centerpiece at the Málaga Film Festival, now in its 27th edition.
The film toplines Jorge Motos, star of 2021’s “Lucas,” a film which earned him a Málaga Silver Biznaga for best actor and a Goya best new actor nomination; Lucas Nabor (“All the Names of God”), Eduardo Rosa (“La casa de las flores”) and Catalina Sopelana (“Sky Rojo”) complete the main cast. “The Aspirant” is set on the Day Zero of hazing at the Tolentino university residence.
Carlos and Dani accept the 24-hour challenge to fit in. But they will have to face the worst of themselves before everything turns into a tragedy.
Andrea Gautier at Smiz and Pixel (“La vida era eso”) produced the film, in partnership with outfits Kabiria Films, La Bestia Produce and Featurent.
