Barcelona studio Filmax has boarded “Another Man,” a comedy-laced romantic drama marking the second feature from Spanish writer-director David Moragas who turned heads on the festival circuit with ‘A Stormy Night,’ a black and white New York-set brief encounter story. Filmax will handle the theatrical release in Spain and international sales on “Another Man.”

In it, Marc and Eunald appear to be a stable couple. But Marc pushes back against Eunald’s attempts to consolidate their relationship. New neighbor Carlos, who moves into the apartment opposite, mesmerizes Marc, making him question his life until now.

Moragas’ first feature length film in Catalan, starring Lluís Marquès (“Girlfriends”), Quim Àvila (“Burning Body”) and Bruna Cusí (“Summer 1993”), the film explores the complexities of romantic relationships and the life changing decisions people make in their thirties.

“Another Man” is produced by Oberon Media, founded in 2018 by Antonio Chavarrías, an iconic figure on Barcelona’s independent scene as both a director (Berlin competition entry “Dictado” and the recent “Holy Mother”) and as a producer (Jaume Rosales’ “Wild Flowers,” Silvia Munt’s “In the Company of Women”). It produces with Mexico’s Monstro Films and Un Altre Home A.I.E. 

Vibrant Catalan public broadcaster 3Cat co-produces.

“Moragas’ previous film ‘A Stormy Night’ was a hit on the international festival circuit. There is a lot of excitement around his new project. We think it can travel very well, given how successfully it reflects a fresh, urban and vibrant reality,” said Ivan Díaz, Filmax head of international.

“‘Another Man’ is precisely the kind of cinema that we are so eager to explore; an up-and-coming director with international appeal and a fresh vision which aims to touch the audience while, at the same time, giving a realistic portrayal of an intimate, diverse and universal reality,” added producers Chavarrías and Alba Bosch Duran.
