Alexia Putellas biopic film production
Overview
Production has commenced on a feature film titled ‘Alexia’, directed by Lucía Alemany, which is inspired by the life of Spanish footballer and two-time Ballon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas. The biopic focuses on her formative years in Mollet del Vallès and her journey toward becoming a world champion, including her signing with FC Barcelona at age 18.
Filming is currently underway across various locations in Catalonia and Valencia, including specific scenes in Mollet del Vallès. To ensure authenticity, the production has cast young federated footballers to portray Putellas at different stages of her life: nine-year-old Emma Masoliver plays her as a child, and 16-year-old Madicken Mauri-Sandaker portrays her as an adolescent. Alemany noted that Mauri-Sandaker, a footballer from Girona, was selected for her ability to bring ‘natural energy and character to the role’ despite lacking professional acting experience.
The cast also includes Roger Casamajor as her father, Jaume, and Marina Salas as her mother, Eli. The project is produced by a group including LAZONA, LACIMA Producciones, You First Originals, and Odessa Films. It is described as a story of perseverance and family love, aiming to portray Putellas as a pioneer for future generations of female athletes. The film is scheduled for release in Spanish cinemas in 2027.
