This year, the San Sebastian Festival has rushed to present its Donostia awards. While Werner Herzog received his during Friday's opening, this Saturday was the tribute to Naomi Watts (Shoreham, United Kingdom, 1968), an actress of proven talent and a hard worker by nature whom David Lynch discovered in 2001 in Mulholland Drive. A double and fascinating character, that of that endless masterpiece, which she still remembers with pride and gratitude: “I had been looking for a role like that for a good ten years. Before, I experienced a lot of rejection, many ‘you’re not enough...’ or ‘you’re too...’, to the point that I would go to auditions with a very negative energy. But David Lynch saw something in me and gave me the role of my life. Many people don't get to play two such different characters over the course of their career, and I was able to do them in the same film. I owe an eternal debt to David Lynch”.

In the midst of a heatwave, Andreu Buenafuente and Eva Ugarte, dressed for autumn, focus on filming one of the last scenes of El otro mundo, the sequel to El otro lado, the series by Berto Romero that mixes mystery, paranormal phenomena, and humor. The filming takes place in a large house in the Sant Gervasi neighborhood of Barcelona, and inside it is much hotter than outside, where there is still a slight breeze. Between takes, a makeup artist touches up Buenafuente while another person tries to cool him down minimally with a small hand fan. "Filming a series set in autumn in July during a heatwave is a stroke of genius, it's an added challenge that we didn't want to overlook. Really, you could raise chickens in there," says Romero, between laughs, once the scene is finished. The comedian, besides being the protagonist of the fiction, also acts as director, a task he shares with Alberto del Toro.
