Psychological Thriller ‘The Left-Handed Son,’ From ‘The Plague’ Scribe, Debuts Trailer Ahead of Canneseries (EXCLUSIVE)

variety.com:

Canneseries world premiere, Movistar+ has shared in exclusivity with Variety the international trailer to “The Left Handed Son” (“El hijo zurdo”), the directorial debut of Rafael Cobos, writer of Alberto Rodríguez international hit “Marshland” banner TV series “The Plague.”  Cobos also wrote Rodriguez’s memorable episode in “Offworld,” a market screening at this year’s MipTV.

Movistar+, which produces with José Antonio Félez’s Atipica Films, its partner on “The Plague” and “Prison 1977,” has also announced the release date for “The Left-Handed Son,” whose episodes will all be made available on Movistar+, Spain’s biggest SVOD/pay TV platform, on April 27.

Distribution outside Spain on “The Left-Handed Son” is handled by Movistar+ International. A six-part short format series, it reps Movistar+’s fourth title at Canneseries in six editions. “The Left Handed Son” delivers a probing, fast-paced psychological thriller which adds further weight to the argument that some of the most interesting scripted work in Spain and Latin America is being carried out in miniseries: Think Pablo Fendrick’s “Amongst Men” and Gustavo Pizzi’s “The Last Days of Gilda.” It kicks off with Lola, late thirties, receiving a phone-call from the police: Her son, Lorenzo, knocking 18, is being held in custody.

When she gets to the police station, she’s told that he’s beaten up a Moroccan kid, nearly killing him. Why? “Because your son’s a skinhead,” an officer tells him.
