Mikaela’, the new action thriller by Daniel Calparsoro (‘Hasta el cielo’) produced by Atresmedia Cine, La Terraza Films, Atlantia Media, Ikiru Films and AP6 la película AIE, will hit theaters next Friday, January 31, thanks to Buena Vista International.
Arturo Ruíz wrote the script for this film, which was shot on location in Madrid and Segovia. “From the first page, the script grabs your stomach and doesn’t let go. An action thriller with human undertones where the characters stand out in a powerful way. It’s a story of people on the edge,” says the director.
Antonio Resines heads the cast as a veteran policeman whose career is hanging by a thread, and who will have to take charge, whether he likes it or not, of an assault on an armored car that, like him, has been trapped on the road because of the storm Mikaela.
He will have the unexpected help of a young aspiring Civil Guard just out of the academy, played by Natalia Azahara (‘A través de mi ventana’). Together, despite having quite antagonistic personalities, they will face a gang of thieves who have no qualms about pulling the trigger or taking hostages.
Adriana Torrebejano, Anton Pavel, Cristina Kovani, Oleg Kricunova, Peter Nikolas, Roger Casamajor, Javier Albalá, Patricia Vico, Rocío Muñoz-Cobo, Bernabé Fernández, Richard Holmes and Mario Zorrilla complete the cast.
Mikaela’ is produced by Jaime Oartiz de Artiñano, Javier Ugarte and Jorge Sánchez Gallo, with Rosa Pérez and Laura Castro Otero as executive producers. It also has the participation of the ICAA, Atresmedia, Netflix and Vodafone.
