) and Antonia San Juan (whom we saw not long ago in The Phantom of the Sauna [+leggi anche:

) putting in special appearances.

Shot in Madrid, Almeria and Los Angeles, the movie was lensed by DoP Javier Salmones, who pulls off a painstaking feat of lighting and colour, on the basis of a remarkable storyboard conceived by the director of this road movie that takes in myriad settings and situations, and uses numerous flashbacks.

The storyline introduces us to Macarena, who grew up in a modest family that decided to emigrate to the USA when she was five years old. The teenage years of this charismatic, strong-willed girl with an attitude were somewhat complicated, but an unexpected turn managed to help her focus and find her feet: she decided to study Law. And Diana, a policewoman whom she meets during an internship, becomes the love of her life. Everything seems to be going as she had always dreamed it would, but her father triggers a sudden change in her life: Paco falls in love with a prostitute whom he gets pregnant, causing his family to descend into a complex spiral, both financially and emotionally. In order to move forward, Macarena agrees to act as a mule and transport goods from Los Angeles to Mexico. To do so, she goes online and books a car-sharing trip with Louis, the peculiar young “owner” of the vehicle.

Con los años que me quedan is being produced by Álvaro Ariza, of Esto también Pasará (The House of Snails [+leggi anche:

) and Si No Pasa AIE, in co-production with SDB Films (Mexico) and Glow (Spain), and in association with Mexico’s Grupo Expansión. The executive producer is María Luisa Gutiérrez, of Bowfinger International Pictures. The movie will be distributed in Spain by A Contracorriente Films.
