Jaime Rosales' Wild Sunflowers explores the emotional quest of a mother (Anna Castillo) in modern-day Spain, in three distinct chapters. To be seen in cinemas on August 2, 2023.

Les Tournesols Sauvages, from director Jaime Rosales, known for his fresh, incisive style, and acclaimed Catalan actress Anna Castillo. Taking its name from the immense sunflower field in the Spanish countryside, this film highlights a family's quest for emotional balance in contemporary Spain.

Les Tournesols Sauvages is told in three chapters, each offering a different perspective on the main story. Three distinct experiences, three singular journeys, nourished by the social and cultural context of Spain. The audience is invited to follow the evolution of the characters, embodied by a first-rate cast ranging from distinguished actor Manolo Solo to the talented Carolina Yuste, as well as Neus Pàmies and Oriol Pla.

The choice of title, Wild Sunflowers, resonates with the themes addressed by the film: the search for a glimmer of hope in a sometimes gloomy environment, the quest for freedom in the face of social conventions, and the aspiration for personal fulfillment sometimes hampered by life's circumstances. Director Jaime Rosales calls the film "a portrait of human determination in the face of adversity".

The lead role is played by Anna Castillo. Her portrayal of a single mother in search of emotional balance is sure to appeal to a wide audience. The talent expressed by the young actress, already noticed in several national and international productions, promises to bring Les Tournesols Sauvages to a high level of realism and emotion.

If the synopsis is anything to go by, this film promises delicate introspection and profound reflection on the human condition. We can expect a mixture of pathos and the everyday, an alliance between family drama and the tale of an initiatory journey. Contemporary Spain, with its paradoxes and specificities, is sure to be an integral part of the story.

Les Tournesols Sauvages evokes much more than mere fiction. It's the representation of a reality, that of many Spanish men, women and children, searching for their place in an ever-changing society. This reality is most likely illustrated here through the journeys of these three companions, privileged witnesses to societal change. Every detail, every nuance seems to have been crafted to create a poignant, authentic atmosphere. Les Tournesols Sauvages promises to be a deeply moving work, a profound reflection on humanity and contemporary society.
