On December 1, Ego, a movie directed by Alfonso Cortés Cavanillas and starring María Pedraza, Marian Álvarez, Pol Monen and Alicia Borrachero, will hit theaters. The movie, whose poster we launched today exclusively, is set during the confinement caused by the COVID-19 crisis and tells the story of Paloma, a 19-year-old young woman, who goes to a dating network with people of the same sex. The young woman begins to lose her mind when a double exactly like her appears on this contact website of hers with clear intentions to impersonate her. From that moment on, her only goal will be to find the woman who wants to steal her identity.

“This psychological thriller talks about issues, such as confinement due to the COVID crisis, which we have all experienced, and situations with which viewers, especially the younger audience, can feel identified. We shot at a very complex moment, in 2020, during the pandemic, and that has profoundly marked the way of building history, giving this work a unique and different character”, explains the filmmaker.

The movie, which will be distributed by Begin Again Films, has won the Award for Best Feature Film, Award for Best Screenplay and Award for Best Actress for María Pedraza at the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival. “These awards are a great recognition for the entire team that have been part of this production”, concludes the director.
