Daniel Calparsoro shoots the sequel to his film with the same screenwriter, Jorge Guerricaechevarría, and several of his actors
‘Hasta el cielo’ was one of the great successes of Spanish cinema in 2020. Premiered at the end of the year (December 18), it had previously passed through the Malaga Festival. In it, Ángel (Miguel Herrán), a boy from the suburbs of Madrid, sees how his life changes forever the day he meets Estrella (Carolina Yuste) in a nightclub. After a fight with Poli, the girl’s possessive boyfriend, he discovers that Ángel has a talent for getting into trouble and, most importantly, for getting out of it. For this reason, he encourages him to join his gang of moonlighters who have the entire Madrid police in check. He rises in the gang until he becomes the protégé of Rogelio (Luis Tosar), a capo who controls the capital’s black market, and Sole (Asia Ortega), his daughter, becomes infatuated with him.
The series now picks up where the film left off: A phone call in the middle of the night will change Sole’s fate. Ángel, her husband and leader of a gang of moonlighters, has died; converted overnight into a young widow with a son in charge and many businesses with problems to carry out, Sole is not willing to return under the tutelage of her father Rogelio, one of the biggest traffickers of stolen objects from Madrid. Determined to find a life for herself, Sole will find new allies along the way who will help her unravel the mystery of the deaths that have marked her destiny while she resumes contact with the band of moonlighters and manages to gain their trust to lead once again carry out robberies as ambitious as those of the old days. But neither the police nor the different mafias with which she will have to compete will be willing to make it easy for her to get to heaven.
Daniel Calparsoro directs Asia Ortega and Álvaro Rico.
The cast of the new fiction is led by some of the performers who starred in the film, such as Asia Ortega, Patricia Vico and urban music artists Ayax Pedrosa, Dollar Selmouni and Jarfaiter, who are joined by Luis Tosar, Álvaro Rico, the debutante Alana La Hija del Sheik, Richard Holmes and Fernando Cayo.
Paris has been the first stop in the recording of the series. After passing through the city of light, filming is now moving to locations in Madrid, the Algarve, Lisbon, Galicia (at locations in A Coruña and Lugo) and Nigeria. The series is produced by Vaca Films for Netflix.
