How has all this changed us? We are not yet completely out of confinement and everything seems so far away. So far and yet so close. Well, precisely to stoke the memory and that the brain wakes up, that the classic, UEtv, the producer of Unidad Editorial, said, premieres the documentary 40 Spaniards in quarantine this Sunday, May 31, at 11:30 p.m. on Telemadrid . It is a special program that narrates the situation that 40 actors, athletes, singers, writers have lived and are living ...
The work shows the concerns and feelings of the protagonists through four major blocks: nostalgia, pain, resignation and the future. Among the most recognizable characters in the documentary are the writers Antonio Muñoz Molina, Reyes Monforte, María Dueñas and Elvira Lindo; the actors José Coronado, Macarena Gómez and Octavi Pujades; the singers India Martínez, Sofía Ellar, Álvaro Soler, Carlos Baute, Ramoncín or Huecco; chef Mario Sandoval and painter Domingo Zapata , among others.
The head of the Audiovisual Area of the Editorial Unit and director of the documentary, Miguel Toral, assures that it is a work based on feelings: «Our protagonists tell us about the things they have longed for during confinement, their pain and sadness when meeting every day the numbers of deaths by Covid-19 and explain how to face the future after the pandemic ».
Likewise, Toral points out that the objective is to seek complicity. "The viewer will feel identified with many of the things that are said in the documentary," concludes In this way, the poem by Manuel Vilas La espera summarizes at the beginning of the report a feeling of nostalgia for what is lost or pending, pain for the victims, resignation in the face of circumstances and fear of the future to come.
In the case of the actor José Coronado, what he longs for the most is to work, although he also highlights that “life used to be frenetic, with absurd goals. However, happiness does not lie in money, but in something else, which is what we have to look for now, "he says. In this sense, the footballer Aitor Ocio warns that situations like the current one remind us that we should not postpone talks, hugs or apologies. Something in which the writer María Dueñas agrees , who has the feeling that "the pandemic has made us realize that the threat can be anywhere."
The painter and sculptor Antonio López analyzes the way of life prior to the Covid-19 from his studio and concludes that he did not like it: «Man consumes too much, travels too much, spends too much. He is stepping on everything ». For his part, Mario Sandoval narrates how they had to cancel all the reservations planned for his new restaurant, Coque, and offer himself to the Madrid City Council to provide help to the most disadvantaged. It was the same spirit of solidarity that moved singer Huecco and his wife, who launched an initiative to attend to those most in need and bring them food with their van.
Other names have seen the loss more closely, such as the ex-pilot and DJ Fonsi Nieto, who suffered the death of his father and his 102-year-old grandmother during this confinement. Or the journalist José María García , who remembers from Marbella, where he was confined on the recommendation of his pulmonologist, the death of friends such as the former president of Real Madrid, Lorenzo Sanz, or Alfonso Cortina , former president of Repsol.
