The 10 premieres that you will want to see in March

Why would a woman do a series about Nacho Vidal? The female gaze was essential.

So much so that in the times in which we live, it would be difficult for a man to produce something like that.

I am convinced that it has come to fruition because it was led by a woman.

Porn is a completely legal industry and deserved a reflection on the representation of women.

It is spoken of as a piece of meat, almost like an inflatable doll.

Why would this genre be attractive to actresses?

I wanted to understand them, to understand how their heads work. And what have you discovered? We have spoken with several great actresses, with Sara Bernat, who went from prostitution to porn and then returned to prostitution, or with Sophie Evans, and they are revolutionary women.

They designed their future, nobody put limits on them.

In the 90s,

when one did not want to study the path, it was clear: get married, have children, take care of the house, wash the dishes... There are those who considered that these actresses were prisoners, but for them the prisoners were the others.

Pornography was born at that time and they made 3,000, 4,000 euros for a five-hour work day and they did not have to put up with anyone.

I was very surprised to know the most human part, not to heroize it but to understand what worried those women when they left the set.

And her universe was the same as ours, they had drawn a clear barrier between her body, sex and love.

In the times we live in, it would be difficult for a man to produce such a series.

Filming has not been easy at all... Nothing, there have been actors who have not even wanted to read the script.

It is that the subject of pornography is added to the controversial figure of Nacho, his way of always living with water around his neck.

The big headlines that he has given are always about that transgressive part because nobody knows him.

He doesn't let himself be known either because he always sells his character, but when you get closer you understand everything: his charisma and magnetism are overwhelming, he is a seducer for men, women, projects... He was born to be number one. They have also had problems with the locations. Many, there have been town halls that have refused to let us shoot there.

We rented a boat in Ibiza, imagine, that sells sex, drugs and rock & roll... We had everything prepared and suddenly, no,

A series about Nacho Vidal cannot be shot on this ship.

Lessons in morality, one after another.

Double standards, because porn reaches 80 or 90% consumption among young people in Spain.

It is part of our day to day and the industry exists because there is demand.

What all these difficulties show is that making this series was necessary, nobody has a clue and nobody dares, out of modesty, to make a judgment about this world that is different from the socially accepted one.

The porn actresses of the 90s are revolutionary women, they designed their future without limits

And to you, has it caused ethical problems? I have been asked a lot: how are you going to get into this, with such a clean career you have?

I think the time has come to talk about taboo topics and shed light on things that worry us.

We read big headlines about the problem of pornography consumption among young people, about how it generates imitable and harmful patterns... Have we told you that this is fiction?

What kind of sex education are we giving them?

Religion is one more subject, why not sexuality?

Its determinant.

You have to remove iron from a matter that is part of our nature, of our most primal instinct. The series premieres just before 8-M.

Are you afraid that it will generate some controversy? It was not on purpose, it was going to be released in December, look... I invite all women to see it,

It is very important to enter places that we do not like and not learn things from the mouth of another.

Draw our own conclusions. Nacho says that he has signed a second season... His life is endless, he could give 2,500 chapters.

The nature of the project is continuous but we will have to wait and see if it works.

At the moment, it is not in our conversations.
