From Spain’s acclaimed studio, Solita, run by renowned producer brothers, José Esteban Alenda and César Esteban Alenda, who have just been confirmed to be some of the new producers on the project of new director Alberto Gross Molo’s feature film debut Cartoce de Marzo, or March 14th. March 14th will also see the collaboration with Barcelona’s Contrarian Media, a collective of producers who are both assisting Molo in the capacity of producers and financing the film. Both Solita and Contraria Media are planning to see March 14th have a film festival premiere. Contraria Media’s founders Laura Egidos Plaja and Albert Aynés Clapés, are also confirmed to be joining the March 14th as producers. The film is late in development and will see a scheduled release in 2025.

March 14th tells an original story written by Molo and Tomàs Bayo Encontra about two children and how they handle their parents’ messy divorce. The film is a serious drama about the emotional impact on young children when faced with an event they can’t fully understand and have no desire to be in the crossfire of. The two children, Hector 11, and his younger sister Gema 6, have to choose which parent they wish to live with as well as the possibility of being separated if they choose differently from the other.

In an interview with Variety Molo shared just what he hoped to accomplish by telling this complex story, “I don’t want to talk about victims or culprits, I simply want to put the focus on the children and live this experience, which is so common nowadays, from their point of view. Very often they find themselves, without wanting to, completely in the middle of a conflict they shouldn’t be part of.”
