Following a two-month shoot in Melilla, Seville and other Andalusian locations, this début film has won the backing of La Claqueta and Powehi Films. Alegría (Violeta Samala’s feature-length début) is a feel-good tale that invites us to witness an exotic Jewish wedding in the characterful city of Melilla, which we explore in the company of four women, portrayed by small-screen stars Cecilia Suárez (who you may have seen recently in the Amazon Prime series 3 Caminos), Laia Manzanares (Merlí), Sarah Perles (El Cid) and Mara Guill (Caronte).

Leading Spanish sales company Latido Films has snapped up international sales rights to Violeta Salama’s directorial debut, “Alegria.” Argentina’s Leonardo Sbaraglia joins a stellar European-Latino cast that includes Mexico’s Cecilia Suárez (“La Casa de las Flores”), Spanish actresses Laia Manzanares (“Merlí”) and Mara Guill (“Caronte”) as well as French-born Sarah Perles.
“’Alegria’ is one of the opportunities a sales agency just cannot let pass,” Latido’s Antonio Saura declared. “It’s a funny, sad, charming and totally enjoyable story that dwells on the personal past of the film director, which is told with the ingenuity and charm of someone that cherishes memories and has accepted the multicultural richness of the little-known Spanish city of Melilla, where the story unfolds,” he added.
Seville-based La Claqueta, producer of Spain’s submission to the International Oscars race, “The Endless Trench,” co-produces the comedy with Clara Nieto’s newly-founded Powehi Films.
