We are thrilled to announce that A son (original title: Un hijo), the endearing and acclaimed novel by Alejandro Palomas, will begin its journey to the big screen with a top-tier cast: Hugo Silva, Macarena García, and young Mario Santos will bring the characters of this cherished story to life. The book, which has touched the hearts of thousands of readers worldwide, will now have the opportunity to captivate an even larger audience.
Alejandro Palomas, an author with a unique sensitivity, has managed to explore in this novel themes such as family, friendship, and personal growth through the eyes of Guille, a special boy who dreams of being Mary Poppins. On the big screen, this story promises to be just as moving and profound, now under the direction of an exceptional team that will put all their talent into honoring the spirit of the novel.
Un hijo has been translated into 22 languages and is the novel with which Alejandro was awarded the National Prize for Children’s and Young Adult Literature. We have been sharing stories with the author for over 20 years and look forward to continuing this journey together with this and new titles.
From our literary agency, we feel deeply proud and grateful to have accompanied Alejandro on his journey as an author, and to see how Un hijo continues to grow and leave its mark in new formats. We thank the entire production team and the wonderful actors for giving this story a new dimension, and we hope the audience enjoys the film as much as readers have enjoyed the novel.
We are confident that it will be a resounding success and a major step in continuing to inspire hearts!
