Synopsis

'Días de agosto' is a Spanish romantic thriller directed by Chema de la Peña with a screenplay by David Sueiro. The film will be released in theaters on August 14, 2026, through DeepComRoots.

The film takes us to an idyllic little house on the beach in the Canary Islands. There, Juan and Gabriela are enjoying the summer, a couple of college students without worries or obligations. The tranquility is disrupted when Fernando, Juan's father, arrives at the house accompanied by his new partner, Mónica, a woman much younger than him.

As expected, the idyllic holiday turns into something much more uncomfortable for Juan, who has to try to enjoy time with his girlfriend but with his father at home, and on top of that, with a woman he doesn't know at all and, above all, who is not his mother. As the days go by, the relationships between the four characters begin to transform, giving rise to an unexpected attraction between Juan and Mónica, which could blow up the entire family dynamic.

'Días de agosto' stars Pau Simón, Berta Galo, Maggie Civantos, and Roberto Álamo in the four leading roles. They are joined by the special collaboration of Pilar Castro as Juan's mother. The film was shot in the Canary Islands.

Trivia

  • Less dialogue

    During filming, quite a few lines of dialogue were cut to give more weight to the silences and glances, which sometimes worked better than words.

  • The Importance of the House

    The house is almost another character within the film. It took a while to find the perfect chalet, since a precise location was sought, along with being able to see the pool from various windows of the home.

  • The intimate scenes were very well rehearsed.

    The film had an intimacy coordinator from rehearsals onward. All movements were rehearsed and the boundaries had been agreed upon in advance with the actors.
