Here Maura dreamcasts an adaptation of her debut novel, Madrid Again:
If my novel were to be turned into a film, my dream screenwriter and director would be Joanna Hogg. Her films resonate deeply. Her most recent, Souvenir, explores the life of a young woman in a poignant, subtle, stylish and haunting way. She is the perfect director for a mother-daughter story, and for people living in liminal spaces.Visit Soledad Maura's website.
I would like Spanish actress Adriana Gil to play the mother, Odilia, and Jenny Slate would be perfect for Lola, though I’m not sure if she speaks Spanish. I would be happy to teach her.
