'Some Time Later' is a 2018 Spanish-Portuguese absurdist comedy film directed by Jos Luis Cuerda which features an ensemble cast of actors and comedians. Set in the year 9177 and based on the eponymous novel by Cuerda, the film is billed as a "spiritual sequel" to the 1989 cult film 'Amanece, que no es poco'. It is Cuerda's swan song before his death in 2020.
Plot
It is about the year 9177 (one thousand years up or down) and only one building (and its suburbs) lasts from humankind. Society is divided between the elite inhabiting the building, and the 'unemployed' who live outside in shacks. The aforementioned social fabric begins to unravel after Jos Mara, an outer dweller, tries to sell a lemonade to the elite, prompting a social revolution.
Cast
Production
The screenplay adapted the novel 'Tiempo despus' by Jos Luis Cuerda written in 2015, in turn based on a discarded screenplay from 1997. A group of comedians (including Edu Galn, Andreu Buenafuente, Berto Romero and Arturo Valls) created a group to unshelf the work and produce a film. Some of the crew duties were entrusted to Pau Esteve Birba (cinematography), Lucio Godoy (music), Emma Tusell (editing), Pepe Domnguez (art direction), Clara Bilbao (costume design) and Miguel Calvo (sound). Andreu Buenafuente and Arturo Valls took over production duties.
The film's main theme, "Tiempo despus", is performed by Joaqun Sabina.
A joint Spanish-Portuguese co-production, the film was produced by Tiempo despus AIE, Estela Films, Plvora Films, Lanube Pelculas, El Terrat and Planar Gesto de Equipamentos Cinematogrficos, with the participation of Atresmedia Cine, Entertaintment One, Movistar+, Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha and Castilla-La Mancha Media.
Shooting took place in between the CastillaLa Mancha and the Community of Madrid regions and wrapped by December 2017. Shooting locations included and Hontanar, in the province of Toledo.
The "dystopic" building in which the fiction is set is a mashup of two iconic 20th-century buildings located in Madrid: the Torres Blancas designed by Javier Senz de Oiza and the Spanish Cultural Heritage Institute (aka the 'Crown of Thorns') by Fernando Higueras and Antonio Mir. Some of the indoor shots were filmed in Torres Blancas.
