THE COUNTERCURRENT TRAJECTORY PRODUCES:
Pablo Moreno, is the director of the film Sta. Vicenta María and has her entire Contracorriente Producciones team that has helped her set up projects such as Un Dios prohibido ( 2012), Poveda (2015), Luz de Soledad (2016), Red de libertad ( 2017) Claret (2020) and countless short films and audiovisual products.
The script is by Pablo Moreno and he has been working on it for a year with countless meetings with the nuns and experts in the life of their foundress.
The film will actually have several timelines. One of these timelines is set in the present day and we are immersed in the life of a woman and many key women in the last third of the nineteenth century, so problematic socially and economically, even religiously, and yet so rich in impressive experiences of courageous and innovative women like Vicenta Maria.
A total of 300 people will participate in the filming, including actors, extras and production crew. Filming will take place between May and June 2021.
The director and his team have once again worked with actors and actresses who have worked on many of his previous projects. Among these actresses are Assumpta Serna (starring in Red de Libertad, among other works with Pablo Moreno) and Elena Furiase (actress in Un Dios prohibido and Poveda, among others).
Director Pablo Moreno has managed to start up an audiovisual industry in Ciudad Rodrigo, a beautiful city in the west of western Castilla y León, on the border with Portugal, in a diocese small in population but rich in initiatives.
The production company would like to thank the Religious Sisters of Mary Immaculate for the trust they have placed in the director to start this project. He is very grateful for the hospitality received in Cascante by the community that runs the house of this religious institution and also thanks the parish priest and all his volunteers for the collaboration received in Cascante during those two days of filming.
