A bus accident involving a group of high school friends is the trigger for the plot. ‘Spirit’new spanish Netflix series. Sergio G. SanchezThe director of The Secret of Marrowbone and the screenwriter of The Orphanage and The Impossible proposes a fantastic and supernatural ‘thriller’ from the hands of a handful of young heroes. captains Mireia Oriol (Barcelona, 1996), accompanied by a former model known as one of the ‘Les de l’hoquei’ actors on TV-3. Alex Villazan (Madrid, 1993) and claudia badge (Madrid, 2000) It happened on ‘Skam España’.
Their characters form a strange trio. How would you describe them?
Claudia Rosett: Deva is a complex character because while I thought I was starting to understand her, something else happened and I had to find a way to understand her again. For him, the heart comes first, then the head, he is quite impulsive and manages to survive. Because of some things in life, he had to live with a loneliness that was too heavy for him.
Mireia Oriol: For me, Alma is a very sensitive, empathetic, intelligent person who can see others without the need for words, who can immediately sense what is happening. He is an ever-overshadowed person who starts with little self-confidence, and his journey consists of finding himself, revealing his lights and shadows, and rediscovering power.
Alex Villazan: Tom is honest, loyal, loyal to his friends, stubborn, honest boy who goes after what he wants and gets it. There’s a phrase in the bible of the character Sergio sent us. [G. Sánchez] I liked it very much at first, he said that Tom embodied the beautiful features of puberty.
‘Alma’ is a multi-author series. Was there a very direct relationship with your creator during filming?
Mireia Oriol: From the beginning. Sergio gave us these characters, and with them came all the infinitive imagination he had. Being able to trust him has been a gift to everyone. I remember being attacked for wanting to check everything in the first week of filming, I had my notes and he said to me: You have to trust.
Alex Villazan: He always gave us this space to suggest and co-create characters.
Claudia Rosett: It is very important in this profession to believe in what you do and to have a direct channel with the creator who believes in it the most, it is a privilege.
How did you manage to take charge of starring in a Netflix series when you were so young?
Mireia Oriol: It was intense. By the time the shooting was over, I realized what had happened. The first week we took the tests, I was having bouts of anxiety, thinking they’d find out I was a fraud, that I couldn’t, that they’d fire me… Some brutal distrust. But fortunately, the entire team believed this story from the very beginning. I remember the cinematographer picking me up for crying and telling me, “You’re not alone, look at all the people here with you.”
Claudia Rosett: In the beginning, we all had the fraud syndrome, because everything was so good, so big… I said to myself: Look, no matter how badly you do it, if I’m surrounded by this team, it can’ don’t go wrong.
Alex Villazan: It’s pressure because everything around you is so cool that you have to live accordingly and you’re like a custard wanting to look your best. You were trying not to let your nerves betray you.
There are scenes of forest, sexuality and accident in the series. Which one was the hardest to shoot?
Mireia Oriol: For me, the moment on the set of the crash. We spent that week lying on the floor.
One week?
Mireia Oriol: A whole week to record the accident and everything that followed. I remember being sick, I was very sick with the flu, I had a fever and I didn’t know what I was doing anymore, everyone was in bed at the time.
Claudia Rosett: Recording was very complex and took a lot of time because you wanted to do it in detail. So we had to put up a good resistance.
‘soul ‘one’income‘supernatural. Did they argue a lot about the paranormal issues it brought up?
Claudia Rosett: So much, something always present and a journey for each. At least, I’m not the same at all, from how I started to how I ended up. This series changes your perspective a little bit.
Mireia Oriol: Faith was also very important to me. When you finally think that life is finite and what happens when you die, it makes you live everything as if nothing else existed. I like to think that there is something beyond energy that is part of a much longer path than what we are currently experiencing.
Was Asturias the perfect place to set this story? Because the landscapes stand out too much.
Alex Villazan: It sat on it like a glove.
Claudia Rosett: Asturias is another main character in Alma, most of the work was done by that place. You were there and didn’t feel like in a studio, the place gave you so much.
Mireia Oriol: That’s good too. While watching the series, you say there are frames: It’s like a painting. In the end, not only was the scenery beautiful, but the whole atmosphere these places created. It was as if 50% of the work had already been given by the environment.
