Bathers and onlookers who were in the dunes were able to observe the dizzying pace of work of the dozens of operators who make the filming possible. Large spotlights, light panels and meters and meters of cable, moving swiftly until the voice of "Silence, please" was heard, and everything stopped. The filming of the scene began.
Penélope, dressed in jeans and a black tank top, was chatting animatedly with Blanca Portillo, who was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt. Between them, Pedro Almodóvar, dressed in a green sweater, did not stop controlling the entire development of the scene for a minute. As one more member of the team, the young Edurne Duque waited patiently to be called to double Penélope Cruz's presence, due to camera lighting reasons.
Filming is scheduled to continue on the island throughout this week. "Broken Embraces" will not finish recording until September, according to its director, so its premiere is expected for the beginning of next year.
