Spain’s most famous film maker, Pedro Almodóvar, will return to Lanzarote for the filming of his next project.
Titled Amarga Navidad (“Bitter Christmas”) the film will star award-winning Spanish actress Bárbara Lennie and the veteran Argentine actor Leonardo Sbaraglia as well as younger stars Victoria Luengo and Patrick Criado.
It will tell the story of Elsa, a workaholic whose mother dies during a Christmas holiday and who later suffers a breakdown that causes her to take a break on Lanzarote.
It is the second time Almodóvar will have filmed on Lanzarote. In 2008 he arrived on the island with Penelopé Cruz to film sections of his film Abrazos Rotos (“Broken Embraces”).
