How Four Unfinished Lorca Pages Inspired a Film

I just wanna start with Javier and Javier.

I know that

you started making this film

from four unfinished pages of a Lorca

play.

The four pages that remain from that play that were found,

uh, have-- The first page is the list of the characters.

And, uh, he, he wanted to make a drama, a realistic drama.

But when you look at the characters, you see the father, the mother, Carlos,

Enrique, Lorenzo, but then the skiers, the

snow.

The snow is a character.

The snow was a character.

Okay.

And it was like, "Federico, you weren't doing a realistic thing.

You couldn't help yourself to make poetry in the ending."

And then, uh, we knew it was gonna be a play about a guy who was

rejected for being homosexual, and he was gonna be explicit about that.

So it was gonna be a revolutionary play, a very

important play for us, the community.

And he couldn't do it because he was murdered by fascism.

So it was like, "Oh, what a loss.

We have to imagine what, what this could have been like."
