Directors' statement
"We wrote this story in 2005 for Emma Suárez and we proposed it to Emma in 2006. Since then, she has always been Ana, the mother of “La próxima piel”. On the other hand we didn’t have the teenage son. It needed eight years for the child Àlex Monner to grow up and be able to embody our protagonist. Curiously, the same eight years that his character has disappeared in the fiction. Along the way, we have all changed a lot, we have made films and children. Some of the issues that fascinated us then, they are still in the movie: self-deception, uncertain family ties, the need to be loved unconditionally, the fragility on which is based the identity and the desire to become other people. But new interests have been added that before, several movies back, we could not have foreseen that we would have. What we wanted now was to open new paths in our cinema and work the psychological thriller and suspense from the physical proximity, epidermal, to the characters. We did not want to make a film of themes but of characters: to focus on a group of characters that live extremely the most common feelings, with which we can all identify. In particular, it challenges us and attracts us the relationship of mother and son, the immense need for love that both have and that leads them to make a family relationship, remembering, forgetting or recreating the past as they want, because they can no longer resign to the bonds that have been created between them".
