With careful documentation, Alfonso Cortés-Cavanillas tells in Lobo “the journey of reconstruction of a person who has suffered mistreatment”.
The idea stems from a true story that caught the attention of Goya-winning actress Marian Álvarez, about a woman who, while fleeing from her abuser with her dog, is forced to live in a tent. The actress suggests to Alfonso Cortés-Cavanillas, with whom she is collaborating for the fourth time, to take the idea to the screen. The director not only accepted, but also proposed writing the film with the scriptwriter and playwright Jorge Navarro de Lemus, a challenge that for her “was about telling big things in a simple way, about getting the message across”, and that for the co-author “has to do with how we say goodbye, with how we say goodbye to things even if they hurt us”. Lobo deals with mistreatment, but does not do so from the point of view of explicit violence; he does so from the point of view of the recomposition of the person who has suffered it, thus showing himself to be a moving and profoundly luminous work.

The film also features performers such as Nora Navas, Andrés Gertrúdix and Toni Acosta, and the choice of an acoustic song by Annie B. Sweet, which gives the film an important emotional charge.
