Alea Media will produce Homeland, first Spanish original series HBO Europe La adaptaci n televisiva de la exitosa novela de Fernando Aramburu contar con 8 episodios, escritos y producidos por Aitor Gabilondo. El ganador del Le n de Plata en el Festival de Venecia Pablo Trapero ser el director principal de la serie y el ganador de un Goya F lix Viscarret dirigir varios episodios.
HBO Europe ha dado luz verde a su primer original espa ol, la serie Patria, adaptaci n de la novela hom nima de Fernando Aramburu (Premio Nacional de Narrativa 2017), un fen meno editorial entre p blico y cr tica que ya ha traspasado nuestras fronteras. Aitor Gabilondo, creador de Prince o Vivir sin permiso, es el impulsor, guionista y productor de esta adaptaci n, cuyo director principal ser Pablo Trapero (La quietud, El clan, Elefante blanco), acompa ado por F lix Viscarret (Bajo las estrellas, Vientos de la Habana), que dirigir varios episodios.
La historia de Patria transcurre a lo largo de tres d cadas en Euskadi. A trav s de sus protagonistas, dos familias divididas por las consecuencias del terrorismo, Patria nos habla de c mo vive la gente corriente en el contexto de un conflicto que pese a ser local tiene numerosos elementos comunes con cualquier enfrentamiento en muchos lugares del mundo.
La vida de Bittori y su familia cambia por completo el d a en que ETA asesina a su marido, Txato, en la puerta de su casa. Rotas las relaciones con la familia de su amiga Miren, cuyo hijo milita en la banda terrorista, todos tendr n que lidiar con el duelo y las contradicciones morales mientras la vida sigue su propio curso, poniendo en el camino nuevos condicionantes que tambi n determinar n su futuro. Ser n capaces alg n d a de perdonar, borrar sus diferencias, y volver a estar unidos?
Aitor Gabilondo explica que he dedicado casi un a o a adaptar Patria a televisi n. Ahora toca dar vida a estos personajes y recrear aquel doloroso pasado en algunos de los lugares donde ocurrieron hechos muy similares a los que se narran en esta ficci n, y cuando las heridas a n siguen abiertas en Euskadi. Eso aviva mi compromiso y me obliga a afilar la sensibilidad. Por fortuna, HBO me ha permitido rodearme de un equipo t cnico y art stico excepcional, tambi n muy comprometido con esa realidad. No tengo ninguna voluntad de imponer un relato nico porque ni creo que exista ni pienso que deba existir. Patria no s lo supone para m el reto de trasladar a la pantalla una historia emocionante y poderosa que ha llegado a millones de personas en todo el mundo. Tambi n es un viaje personal en el que, de la mano de los personajes, regreso al Euskadi de los a os m s duros de ETA, que tanto marcaron mi juventud. No se puede pedir m s .
Miguel Salvat, Commissioning Editor of Original Programming HBO Espa a, comenta que Patria define la intenci n de HBO en cuanto a la producci n original. Queremos crear algo diferente, de gran calidad y que est a la altura del legado de nuestra marca. Creo que el gran libro de Fernando Aramburu como base, y la enorme aportaci n de Aitor Gabilondo adaptando la novela y liderando este equipo, har n de Patria una serie como nunca antes se ha hecho .
El director argentino Pablo Trapero es un galardonado cineasta cuyos trabajos han sido reconocidos internacionalmente, incluidos los festivales de Cannes, Toronto y Venecia, donde recibi el Le n de Plata como mejor director por El clan, tambi n galardonada en los Goya como mejor pel cula iberoamericana. En su filmograf a se incluyen tambi n t tulos como Elefante blanco and Carancho, adem s de La quietud, de estreno el pr ximo noviembre en Espa a. F lix Viscarret ha dirigido Four Seasons in Havana para televisi n y ya ha adaptado con anterioridad una novela de Aramburu, la pel cula Bajo las estrellas, con la que gan un Goya al mejor gui n adaptado y otro al mejor actor protagonista.
Aitor Gabilondo, uno de los showrunners m s destacados en Espa a, tanto en gui n como en producci n, tiene entre sus cr ditos la serie El comisario y el gran xito Prince, entre otras. Fund Alea Media en 2017.
Patria tendr 8 episodios de una hora y estar producida por Alea Media, productora participada por Mediaset. La serie comenzar su rodaje en 2019 y tiene previsto su estreno en 2020. Su lanzamiento ser simult neo en todos los territorios de HBO Europe, y se estrenar tambi n en HBO Latin America. Tambi n estar disponible para los subscriptores de HBO en Estados Unidos a trav s de las plataformas del canal HBO Go, HBO Now, HBO On Demand, y otros distribuidores del canal y para todos los subscriptores de HBO Latin America.
