Some things about UN PASEO POR EL BORNE

 UN PASEO POR EL BORNE

(“A WALK ALONG THE BORNE”)

What does the director of this film Nick Jonas have to say?

This is, above all, a film of overcoming. I am a fan as a spectator of this type of films, whatever their theme, and they are the ones that have served as a reference when conceiving this story. From “Stand and deliver”, a film little known to the general public, by Ramon Menendez, that to me is the ABC of "classroom" movies, to “Hoosiers” or “The pursuit of Happiness”, going through others like “Dead poets society”. The realism and naturalness of French cinema (Cantet, Audiard, Ozon, Rohmer, Dardenne brothers…) I have had them very much present at all times, without ever detaching myself, of course, from the Spanish reality.

Behind the story - Behind our story there is a clear social background. We want to show the most unknown part of Majorca: that of the people who live there and who work carrying suitcases at the airport or as waitresses in hotels and who, at the end of the season, go unemployed. We want to show what lies behind this idyllic tourism that, when it disappears, manifests itself so crudely.

Within a clear tone of dramedia this is a positive film, which talks about impossible dreams and how people influence (and help) people. It is ultimately a film of people (with capital letters), made from the heart and showing a great love for cinema. Our story starts from a clear realism and leads to what could be almost a story thanks to that "why not?" on which we bet. All this converges in our purpose that the film leaves a good taste in the audience and a little (or rather a lot) of hope.
