Filming of "We treat women too well" begins, with Carmen Machi and Antonio de la Torre

It is not, far from it, a raw debut, but "We treat women too well" It will be the directorial debut Clara Bilbao and has just started filming in Galicia. Starring Carmen Machi and Antonio de la Torre, and with Luis Tosar, Isaac Ferris, Oscar Ladoire, Julian Villagran o Diego Anido among the cast, the film will mean the jump to the feature film of the winner of up to three Goya Awards for Best Costume Design ("Blackthorn", "Nobody Wants the Night" and "The Shadow of the Law").

Bilbao also comes from directing two short films: "Forbidden to throw corpses in the trash", from 2014 and which earned him the Jury Prize at the Tarazona and Moncayo Comedy Festival; and "Brexit", from 2018, focusing on the issue of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union and how it affected a young Spanish woman. According to her, the new film from Bilbao is "a black comedy", based on the French best-seller “We are always too good with women”written by Raymond Queneau.

Today will be the day that Remedios will show how far she can go defending her values. And no one can stop it. Not even this battalion of rebels with smoking rifles and raised fists."
