The premiere of the movie “Yo Tambien” in Spain will be October 16th. Joaquin will be present in both Madrid and in Seville; where respective preview screenings will occur on the 14th and 15th. This project is produced by Julio Medem (“Sex and Lucia”), directed by A. Pastor and A. Naharro, and stars Pablo Pineda and Lola Dueñas (“Volver”, “The Sea Inside”) in the lead roles. This movie deals with the challenges of Down’s Syndrome and received BOTH Best Actor and Best Actress awards in the San Sebastian Film Festival last September.

Joaquin plays the role of Pepe, a psychologist working for the government who is divorced with a daughter. As kind of a playboy, he is the work mate of both leading actors. As validated by its double-awards in this festival, the film received great critical reviews and audience emotion & acceptance when presented in San Sebastian—which raises big expectations for commercial release to the general public.
