in filming
Pablo Hernando from Alava directs ‘Una whale’, a thriller in which Eneko Sagardoy and Ramón Barea also participate
Until now, Ingrid García-Jonsson was identified above all in comedy or melodrama characters, but the director from Álava, Pablo Hernando, has turned her into a paid assassin in the film that is currently filming and which bears the title of ‘A whale’.
‘A Whale’ will be a thriller in which when Ingrid pulls the trigger, her victims don’t know who shot them. Her ability to infiltrate and disappear without a trace of her makes her a ruthless hit man. But that power comes from another world, a place inhabited by monstrous creatures, from which less and less human emerges. Ingrid receives a commission from Melville, a smuggler who uses the port to smuggle rare goods and who is about to lose everything. A powerful rival businessman has come to town and is going to take control of the port. He lives barricaded in a building full of security guards and armed bodyguards. Killing him is a job that only Ingrid can do. Everything changes when Melville discovers Ingrid’s secret: her mysterious connection to the sea and her true nature, which makes her the most valuable commodity of all.
Together with Ingrid García-Johnsson, the cast is led by Eneko Sagardoy and Ramón Barea. This is the second time that the actress is directed by Pablo Hernando. The director’s debut feature, ‘Berseker’, a low-cost independent production, was already starring her, alongside Julián Génisson, Rocío León, Lorena Iglesias, Xabi Tolosa and Vicenç Miralles, a very surprising story, a thriller that told the story of a human head glued to the steering wheel of a car.
In ‘A whale’, also written by Pablo Hernando, film noir intersects with science fiction and experimental cinema. For Marina Perales Marhuenda and Xavier Rocher, from La Fabrica Nocturna Cinéma, the filmmaker is “one of the most unique voices of the new wave of Spanish cinema.” In the production, which is a Spanish-French co-production, in addition to La Fabrica Nocturna Cinéma from France, there are Señor & Señora and Sayaka Producciones Audiovisuales, and it has Leire Apellaniz as producer. ‘A whale’ has the support of the ICAA, the Basque Government and EiTB.
