‘Zorras’ Heads to Mipcom as Best Selling Writer Noemí Casquet Talks Up Friendship and ‘True Sexual Freedom’

Callum McLennan In the Spanish comedy drama series “Zorras,” based on the Noemí Casquet best selling novel of the same name, Andrea Ros, Mirela Balic, and Tai Fei play Alicia, Emily, and Diana, three women from very different backgrounds.

They find a commonality, however, in a desire for friendship and exploration of themselves through sexual experimentation and novelty. “Zorras” might translate as “sluts” or “tramps.” The show flips such terms and acts such as bondage on their head. “I really think it’s about empowering ourselves through those words that have been pejorative to us throughout our existence simply by living and doing with our lives what we want to do with our lives,” Casquet told Variety. “The term ‘sluts’ has always been very derogatory regardless of how many times we slept with someone.

What this series wants to do is to turn the term around. To stop hurting us and to take ownership of the insults we have been receiving for a long time.

Sexual freedom ultimately depends on that, on being true to our values and our own rhythm. That is true sexual freedom,” she adds.
