Javier Calvo has already explained the objectives of this new project they are facing: “Two years after ‘Venom’, we want to go a step further, composing an almost apocalyptic family drama and delving into faith, but from a darker and more painful place.“. For his part, Javier Ambrossi pointed out: “It has been more than a year and a half of very intense work. Documentation, research, writing, delving into the issues we want to address. We have created a series with a multitude of points of view, with a mix of genres that spans from the 80s to the present. It couldn’t make me happier to share with the world today that this series has found its home on Movistar Plus+”.
