Those who have already seen it maintain that it is the series of the year. ‘La Mesías’ participated in the last edition of the San Sebastián Film Festival and captivated the audience. Its authors, Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo, thus achieved three years of intense work. “We have grown older doing this series and we haven’t even realized it,” they said in ‘El Hormiguero’. And they alluded to Zinemaldi. «It was impressive because we did a screening of the entire series and people stayed to see it in its entirety. And it was eight hours! “People came out in shock,” they said proudly, assuring that, for them, “it has been an honor to be in the official section.”

«Just as ‘The Call’ was a musical in our way and ‘Paquita Salas’ was a comedy in our way, ‘La Mesías’ is an approach to a thriller in our way. It is a family drama that began wanting to be a kind of ‘Little Dark Women’ and in the end has become the story of the traumas that unite and separate a family,” Los Javis explained about the fiction that Movistar Plus+ has just released. And they added: «It talks about the pain and the secrets that we have kept since our childhood. “She is a mother who loses her mind at a given moment and locks her family in her house.”

Their projects are original and reflect with ingenuity on society. “There are parents who believe they are the owners of their children,” they commented to Pablo Motos who asked if his story could make the Church uncomfortable. «It is not our interest to bother anyone and I think that people who know our careers know where we stand. Beliefs belong to each person and it is precious that they exist. The series talks about the freedom to believe, but that is one thing and another to stand in a pulpit and point out to a minority, telling them that they have no rights because I said so,” they said. Calvo insisted: «It is a reflection on dogmatism and fanaticism. “What heals everything is empathy.” And his partner, Ambrossi, was used as an example. «I went to a religious school and as a gay child, being in a place where they point at you and tell you that what you are and your desires are sins and disgusting is something that I still have not gotten rid of. I, for example, do not have a healthy relationship with sex because I always have a lot of internal storms. And I’m walking down the street and I see a group of teenage boys and I’m still scared. And I’m almost forty years old! It is necessary to reflect on the fact that what happens to you in childhood marks your entire life,” he stated serenely.

The duo generates ideas almost continuously and that of ‘The Messiah’ came in a somewhat unusual way. «In a hotel where we went to rest, there was a helmet that stimulated your brain. I put it on, I was chatting with the doctor, and the helmet made me feel like a motorcycle and the series occurred to me,” Calvo confessed that, although she shares a job with her husband, “it’s been a while since we argued.” Ambrossi took the opportunity to reveal that when the disputes began, they were abound. «When he shined in something, I wanted to shine more. That didn’t give him or me space. And little by little I realized that I had to focus on what I was good at. And believe in what I do well,” she revealed. Calvo finished with a sentence to remember. “When you work as a couple, it is essential to know what the other is best at and, instead of competing, treasure it,” she concluded.
