“Mix thriller with social drama”

Daniel Guzmanactor and film director, has been at laSexta Xplica, where he presented his new film ‘The Debt’. A feature film that deals with various social aspects such as the housing crisis.

However, he acknowledged to José Yélamo that it was “unintentionally”, it simply “came out”: “It’s not that I wanted to talk about gentrification. The film is a bit ambitious because it mixes thriller with social drama. The social is only the trigger and the pretext that starts the thriller“.

“What happens is that it has so much depth and is so much in the imagination of society, that it has a lot of force within the film. But In principle it is an emotional thriller that talks about our relationship with the elderlythe relationship between Lucas and Antonia, a vulnerable, dependent person who is left homeless because an investment fund acquires the building and how far he is willing to go to avoid losing the house,” he added.

Now, as Guzmán comments, “it also talks about guilt, the need to ask for forgiveness and the search for affection about the character of Susana, a public health nurse.” “The social context was not something I wanted to tell, but it came out“, he concluded.
