Rodrigo Sorogoyen releases ‘El ser querido’ starring Javier Bardem

Rodrigo Sorogoyen’s new film, ‘El ser querido’, has premiered in theaters. The drama stars Javier Bardem as Esteban Martínez, a renowned film director, and Victoria Luengo as his daughter, Emilia, an actress.

The plot centers on a forced reunion during the filming of a new production. After thirteen years of separation, the characters must navigate long-standing wounds, resentment, and the complexities of a broken relationship. The film explores themes of paternity, abandonment, and the different narratives individuals construct for themselves and society.

Critics have noted the film’s intense emotional tension and the precise performances of its leads. The production, written by Sorogoyen and Isabel Peña, was previously featured in the official selection at the Cannes Film Festival.
