Last year, nearly 20 TV movies were produced in Catalonia, a figure that clearly indicates the importance of small screen production as one of the most active sectors in the Catalan audiovisual industry. This vitality largely owes itself to the confluence of two factors: on one hand, the unwavering role of Televisió de Catalunya as a driving force for production; and on the other hand, a framework of support provided by the Catalan Institute for Cultural Industries (ICIC).This joint venture has given rise to major television productions including the miniseries Serrallonga, which was warmly received at its presentation at the last MIPCOM. In a word, one of the prime objectives of the Catalan audiovisual industry is to reinforce specific production for television with high quality titles and a clear international scope. Such is the case, for example, of Ramon Costafreda’s TV movie Dead Hand Knocking, produced by Diagonal TV, which received a nomination at the prestigious Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.We invite you to leaf through the productions on the following pages and to visit our online database, www.catalanfilmsdb.cat, where you will also find trailers and audiovisual materials.Welcome to Catalonia’s 2009 TV movie and series productions.

The story of a woman, Victoria, in a time of oppression, a time of great wealth and great poverty, in which women lacked both rights and ventures of their own making. Victoria is a woman ahead of her time, smart, enterprising, shrewd, beautiful and determined to break out of the moulds of the society she has been born into.But above all, La señora is a love story between two people: Victoria and Angel. A love of the kind that endures with the passing of time yet condemned never to be consummated, due to the social differences that prevail and the interference of third parties with dark intentions.

Evil Eye/Trujillo Family is a puppet sit-com for audiences over age 16. it is a show that follows the daily mishaps and madcap situations of a middle-class family, the Trujillos, with a nice dose of verbal and visual humour. An oddball, satirical vision of everyday life. The show takes a look at the universal trials and tribulations of our society (family budgets, generation gaps, mid-life crisis, etc) through direct, comical and off the wall dialogues, and snappy expressions that always go hand in hand with action.
emma, a young and beautiful woman, is married to a successful attorney, with whom she has a daughter. life becomes unbearable for emma when she no longer feels her husband’s love. As a result, she abandons the family to live a brief yet intense love affair. The family, however, does not forgive her for her flight and prohibits her from seeing her daughter. lost and alone, she ends up destitute in the streets. daniel and rut are two teens from good families. Along with Arnau, who is from a more humble household, they beat up on some of their peers at school and record the violent encounters with their mobile phones just for fun. but one night, they take things a bit too far.

A show where the viewer doesn’t just pass the time, but rather lives an experience. For some viewers it reminds them of their own days as immigrants, while helping others discover the world of the latin American immigrants. This show will open the eyes of the Spanish people, and particularly the young viewers, to the phenomenon, rather than the problem, of immigration.

Violets is a TV series that describes today’s women in their struggle to take control of their own lives. Thus, the main characters are women, and the show is set in a women’s support centre known as la casa Violeta (The Violet House), which depends on its own expressly created foundation.The series retakes much of the plot and characters of the TV movie Violets, which serves as the basis for the storyline. in her pursuit to give her life new meaning, emma, a civil servant at a prison, decides to give up her job so that she can actively help other women who are in difficult in situations.
How can the life of a normal everyday person like you or me be affected by the perpetration of a murder? An involuntary murder, with no witnesses. A murder in which there is nothing that would incriminate us. Would we tell the police? Would we perpetually bear the burden of remorse, or perhaps the fear of punishment? Would we try to keep it a secret? Would we confess to the people closest to us? behind each film is an idea. The idea behind The Criminal is to place us in this situation and imagine how we might react.
