Spanish movie powerhouse Atresmedia Cine is partnering with ITV Studios’ Cattleya Producciones and indie outfit La Canica Films to co-produce coming-of-age comedy “Todos los colores,” the feature debut of writer-director Beatriz de Silva.
Filming kicked-off June 23 in Madrid, scheduled for six weeks.
Vicente Canales’ Film Factory Entertainment will handle international sales. Wanda Vision will distribute the film in Spanish theaters in 2026.
“Todos los colores” weighs in as an emotional and generational comedy which turns on love, friendship, desire and inner strength, targeting a four-quadrant audience with a film where disability isn’t the focus but features as just another part of the protagonist’s life.
Mafalda Carbonell (“Live Twice, Love Once,” “30 Coins” ) stars as the 17-year-old girl Belén, a charismatic leader of a group of friends with an overwhelming personality and her wheelchair, always managing to get her way.
But with the end of high school just around the corner, everything starts to change. Belén’s friends have their eyes set on the future, and she fears being left behind.
When she’s forced to sign up for wheelchair athletics to pass the course, what seemed like a punishment becomes the beginning of a time of discovery, transformed friendships, awakened desires, and mingled emotions.
Silvia Abril (“Father There is Only One,” “Mamen Mayo”), Claudia Mora, Amalia Martos, Carlota Jiménez, Iván Luengo, Israel Arpa, Javier Tolosa and Edu Errejón plus paralympic triathlon champion Eva Moral complete the cast.
“Many people don’t see their concerns and way of life reflected in fiction. It’s rare, for example, to see characters with disabilities who aren’t secondary or stereotypes. That’s why [this] film is a great tool for bringing these stories to the audience and generating understanding,” argued Beatriz de Silva, who previously directed the well-received short films “Tula” and “Lyuba, mañana.”
María Cervera at Cattleya Producciones, Beatriz Bodegas at La Canica Films and Alejandra Sáez from Atresmedia Cine executive produce the film, with Daniel Salmones (“La alquería blanca”) serving as DP.
“The project won us over with its sensitivity, its humor and its truth. From the beginning, we saw a unique perspective in Beatriz de Silva and that’s why we wanted to collaborate with her,” says Atresmedia Cine General Director Jaime Ortiz de Artiñano.
“It’s a generational perspective that connects sensitivity and authenticity. Often, those of us who make decisions about content think we understand young audiences based on our experience, but in reality codes change, and it’s important to have voices that know them from the inside,” he adds.
Developed for nearly three years at Cattleya Producciones, “Todos los colores” represents the Madrid-based company’s first fiction production in Spain since its 2021 launch.
“For us, ‘Todos los colores’ marks an ideal way to produce fiction in Spain,” says Cattleya Producciones’ María Cervera. “The aspiration to entertain audiences while conveying certain values is in our DNA.”

“’Todos los colores’ is a comedy that aims to reach both young and adult audiences, both national and international, because it’s a very universal story. The comedic tone is the way to reach the widest possible audience,” says La Canica founder Beatriz Bodegas, producer of Raúl Arévalo’s Venice-selected and multi-Goya Award winning thriller “The Fury of a Patient Man.”
The movie arm of media giant the Atresmedia Group, and a long-term driving force behind Spanish film industry, Atresmedia Cine covers a wide variety of film genres, from Santiago Segura’s hit comedy sagas “Torrente” and “Father There is Only One” to recent successful thriller “La infiltrada” to animation movies such as Oscar-nominated “Klaus.”
“We’re at a moment when Spanish cinema aimed at diverse audiences —including young audiences— still has ample room for development, and we believe there’s an opportunity to attract them back to theaters with stories that speak honestly to them,” Ortiz de Antuñano says.
In the case of “Todos los colores,” Atresmedia Cine co-produces and holds the broadcast rights.
Cattleya Producciones forms part of the ITV Studios group, the TV production and distribution giant, with more than 60 production companies in 13 different countries.
Headed by Nathalie García, a former top executive at Fremantle Spain and Sony Pictures International TV, Cattleya Producciones is partner of leading Italian film and TV production house Cattleya, behind titles such as “Romanzo Criminale,” “Gomorrah” and “Suburra.”
La Canica Films, active since 2010, has become an influential indie film production company, betting on a business model of nurturing young and promising talents and a wide range of film genres.
