John Hopewell Chief International CorrespondentLeticia Dolera, co-writer, lead director and star of the Movistar Plus-HBO Max produced “Perfect Life,” a 2019 double Canneseries winner, is developing a new series, “Puberty,” which looks sure to be one of the hottest titles at this month’s Conecta Fiction & Entertainment.Now in development, “Puberty” will be presented in Conecta Fiction’s High-End Series section.
Penned by Dolera and writer-producer Almudena Monzú (“Picadero,” “Passion,” “ASMR”) and to be directed by Dolera, “Puberty” (“Pubertat”) turns on an alleged sexual assault among adolescents, which sheds light on the sexual taboos of the adults in charge of them.“Can a 13-year-old boy be a sexual aggressor?
And who’s responsible? The under-age boy, his family or society? Surely all of them,” the synopsis runs. “‘Puberty’ talks about the weight of taboo and how this is transmitted between generation and generation, at a cultural, emotional and psychological level,” Dolera commented. “One of the big taboos the series talks about is sex: What place it has in our lives, and how this affects our way of seeing the world and our relating with other people,” she added.Presented as a six one-hour-episode series, “Puberty” is set up at Distinto Films, producers of Locarno winner “The Odd-Job Men,” and Corte y Confección de Películas, Dolera’s own label which also produced “Perfect Life.”“‘Pubertat’ is a high-end series, a clear example of how to address a universal issue through a local sensibility and iconography,” said the series’ producers, Distinto Films’ Miriam Porté and Oriol Maymó.“Perfect Life” is very possibly the highest achievement to date by any female director in Spain on the country’s high-end TV series.
