Daniel Monzón and Patrick Criado discuss new film projects

Director Daniel Monzón explores historical social issues in his new film, ‘Ruega por nosotras’. Set in 1974, the drama depicts a young woman sent to a religious reformatory run by nuns, an institution that existed under the Patronato de Protección a la Mujer until 1985.

At the San Sebastián Festival, actor Patrick Criado discussed his preparation for the film ‘Karateka’. Based on the life of Olympic athlete Sandra Sánchez, Criado shared insights into the discipline required for the role and his perspective on professional competitiveness, noting that he does not view fellow actors as rivals for roles.
