Eduard Fernández, María Rodríguez Soto, Miki Esparbé, Pol López, Nora Navas and Àlex Monner star in this series based on real events.

Filming has begun on ‘Matar a un oso’ (Killing a Bear), the new original Movistar Plus+ series produced with ARTE France and in collaboration with Kubik Films (STUDIO TF1).

Created by brothers Jorge and Alberto Sánchez-Cabezudo, and directed by Jorge Sánchez-Cabezudo, filming will take place in locations such as the Aran Valley, the Catalan Pyrenees, Madrid and Segovia.

The six-episode series ‘Matar a un oso’ is inspired by real events and begins with the mysterious death of the bear Cachou in the Aran Valley during the pandemic lockdown. This event triggers an unprecedented judicial investigation in Spain, in which the animal’s death is treated as a murder. This brings to light deep tensions between the inhabitants of the valley, environmentalism and European policies, reflecting a conflict between tradition and modernity that is highly relevant today.

Synopsis

The death of the bear Cachou in the Aran Valley triggers a criminal investigation unprecedented in the case of an animal’s death. The suspects are the inhabitants of the Valley, which will become the scene of a clash between the global and the ancestral, where only a few will fight to prevent the conflict from erupting with irreparable consequences.
