Film director and writer David Trueba has been in Palma this week chatting about ‘dear children’, a novel that he published at the end of 2021 and that portrays the process of a political campaign prior to the elections. Trueba has gone through SER this Saturday, in ‘A vive Baleares’, and has underlined that this story is not very different from what can happen in real life; At least, that’s how his readers have told him.

“They tell me it’s a survival manual to face a campaign”, he has indicated, and it is that “they have a mechanism behind that we do not quite understand and that we must decode”. Faced with these situations, she has lamented that society is not “active enough when demanding more mature debates and with more truth, with elements beyond the scenic and impact”.

On the new stage that opens in the cinema with the digital platformswith a great protagonism in the past Oscar Awards, Trueba considers that it is a model that can coexist with the traditional one, but he has pointed out that it is very necessary not to give up going to the movies, with all that this implies in terms of socializing and in terms of experiencing that pleasure. Both are elements that, he believes, “we give up when we watch movies or series from home in favor of comfort.”

“It is impossible that those who saw in the cinema Juan Diego being hanged in ‘The Holy Innocents’ will remember it as if they had seen it on a mobile”, he underlined. “Our experiences have to be enrichingwe cannot let them be less pleasant. Comfort is beating our own enjoymentand a lazy society ends up being dominated”, he explained.
