th ECAM Madrid Film School’s Incubator, a six-month producer mentorship initiative, “Macramé” explores the politics of sex in the story of a bourgeoise 70-year-old woman with a passion for macramé.

Her life shifts radically when her 64-year-old Ecuadorian housekeeper makes her feel the knots in her skin, sparking a mutual exploration of the Japanese art of erotic bondage.

The Spanish romantic drama is written and directed by Barbara Magdalena and produced by Iván Luis and Andrea Jaurrieta of Lasai Producciones.

Given Magdalena’s background in design, the project in development is expected to have a compelling visual aesthetic. Magdalena and her producers spoke to Variety to discuss the development process and the challenges ahead. Andrea, Have you directed “Ana by Day” and are you already doing another feature film “Niña” with Bteam, Irusoin and Lasai.
