Madrid, 1975. Three years after the last season, 'El Ministerio del Tiempo' returns and the actor Rodolfo Sancho , son of Sancho Gracia, returns to the production of Onza and Globomedia, one of the most successful Spanish series. Time trips to understand an incomprehensible present.

What is it like to be Julian again in a fiction like this? The series should not die or stay there, because it still gives a lot of itself. And because it is very special and it was a long time since there was a fantastic adventure in Spain. I personally love it, I think it has some great script twists and it has a public service side that makes people then search Wikipedia for Lorca or Lope de Vega. In at least two chapters, 'The Ministry of Time' He predicted the arrival of an epidemic. Did Julius Verne have a crystal ball or was he simply able to analyze the present and see where things are going? Well that. Hopefully Isaac Asimov is not right. But it also looks like in the end there will be a little robot at home cleaning the dishes or worse, staying with your house. What is it like to be an actor in times of the coronavirus? In times like this it makes more sense than ever, because one thinks throughout his career: "What do I do?". Well, to amuse someone. And, by the way, being able to tell you something. It might be a little shallow, but at times like this it's when you realize it's not shallow at all. I am very happy to know that we are helping people to distract themselves a little from fear. Today's paradoxes, the sector is paralyzed but, at the same time, buoyant. It is a splendid moment for the Spanish audiovisual. Imagine how wonderful they can see you anywhere in the world. What happens is that sometimes it seems that some Netflix or Amazon or HBO executives are more aware than the people we have within this country. Look at the numbers that the audiovisual is producing in Spain. Or the cultural sector itself. 3% of the GDP of Spain. This is what I mean. It seems like a lie. Don't you have that data on your table? It seems that we only make bricks. How do you rate the political management of the pandemic in Spain? The problem is that we have bad examples. This, at the political level, gave us two opportunities: join and be strong or go fighting. And they are fighting. When, in reality, we all feel like love. This was a good opportunity to have all come together in the fight against something. And it turns out that we give ourselves hell and this division makes us weaker. And in the economic aspect? We live in a tremendously fragile system. We have stopped two months and it seems that the world is going to end. What if we had to stop for a year we would be in 'Mad Max'? This can not be. There will have to be something more sustainable. Any other conclusion? The fragility of the health system in Spain. It seems to me very well that we boast of the wonderful public health that we have in this country. But the reality is that when there is a moment of urgency, it does not work. Lately there has been a lot of repetition of "no one left behind" ... It is that this system is based on staying behind, it is based on debt. There is a formula so that you cannot get out of there. It is in someone's interest that we be mice in a spinning wheel. How does that change? What if the change is for the worse? There is a tendency to be afraid of the new. But it is a losing fight on the conservative side. Because the human being evolves. Whether we like it or not. I do not understand the fears of rights. It seems that there are people who find it difficult to understand that rights are not obligations and that you have the right to divorce does not force you to do it. What would your father think of what is happening? He would not be having a good time with all this that you order to do things. That they lock you up and that you do not know exactly if it is the right thing or not, as it is being rumored. He was someone very free and who fought a lot for freedom and rights. In addition to being an incredible stray. What future does he want for his offspring? I want to protect his concept of life and freedom, which logically I have a lot inherited from that too. And that it does not seem normal to them to say 'shut yourself up at home'. That fight is important. Since your series is going back in time, how do you relate to the past, present and future? Your head is playing at putting a terrible future on you, creating fear and anxiety. Like when we were kids we thought that someone could push a button on a briefcase and destroy the world. And that could be the change: I look at the people who are really trying to live in the moment, without creating great terrors about a black future.
