Elastica Films Joins Maria Alché’s New Film ‘I Love You and Today Everything Looks Beautiful’
Elastica Films, a Spanish production company, has joined the production of a new film directed by Argentinean filmmaker María Alché, known for her work on ‘Puan’. The film, titled ‘I Love You and Today Everything Looks Beautiful’, is set between the 1950s and 1960s and follows the lives of Josefina and Jorge, two children orphaned after their parents’ death. They are taken in by their irreverent aunt Berta and begin a new life in the city, surrounded by intellectuals and political conspiracies. Alché, in her director’s statement, describes the film as being based on ‘the creation of a group of strong, complex and magnetic characters who survive thanks to a mystical and everyday quality: faith in life and the ability to laugh at tragedy.’ The film is co-produced by Brazil’s Bubbles Project, Germany’s Pandora Film, and France’s Maneki Films. This marks the third collaboration between Alché and Bubbles Project, and the fourth between Bubbles Project and Pasto Cine, which has boarded the project. The film is currently in financing stages, aiming to shoot in the second half of 2027. Renowned French cinematographer Hélène Louvart, known for ‘La Chimera’ and ‘The Lost Daughter’, has joined the project, along with editor Livia Serpa and sound director Laura Zimerman. Alché’s previous works include ‘Puan’, which won the Silver Shell for Actor and Screenplay at the San Sebastián Film Festival, and ‘A Family Submerged’, which won multiple awards including the Horizontes Latinos Award in San Sebastián and the Ingmar Bergman Award for Best First Feature at the Goteborg Film Festival. The film is described as a period piece that feels relevant to today’s world, with Alché expressing interest in recovering a past when Argentina had a ‘productive matrix’ and ‘hope for the future’ amid current political challenges.
