A Poignant Exploration of Modern Love Takes Center Stage

It’s truly exciting to see a new voice emerge with such clarity and depth, and Marta Bassols Loza is certainly proving herself to be one to watch. Her highly anticipated series, 'I Always Sometimes,' is gearing up for its world premiere at the prestigious Canneseries festival, right there in the official competition. From what we're hearing, it’s not just another love story; it’s a nuanced, almost philosophical look at what keeps us together, what pulls us apart, and all those messy bits in between.

At its heart, the series zeroes in on a couple, Marc and Eva, as they navigate the rocky terrain of a breakup. But here’s the twist: it doesn't just show us the end. Oh no. Bassols Loza is far more ambitious than that. She masterfully weaves a non-linear narrative, jumping through time and perspectives, giving us glimpses of their 'always,' their 'sometimes,' and even their 'never' moments. It's a really clever way to show how relationships aren't just one thing, but a collection of evolving truths, memories, and emotions that shift over the years, or even just days.

You know, what's truly compelling is Bassols Loza's vision for this project. She's not interested in painting love with broad strokes or sticking to tired clichés. Instead, she’s drawn to the intricate, often ambiguous 'grey areas' of human connection. She openly acknowledges how people transform, both individually and within a relationship, and how that transformation inevitably redefines the love they share. It's a delicate dance, isn't it? To show intimacy and vulnerability on screen without it feeling forced or, worse yet, inauthentic. And that's precisely the challenge she’s tackled head-on.

Before 'I Always Sometimes,' Bassols Loza had already garnered recognition for her thoughtful short films, which often delved into similar themes of human emotion and connection. So, stepping into a full-fledged series felt like a natural, albeit significant, progression. This project, produced by Little Big Story in collaboration with Playz, RTVE's youth platform, really highlights the growing trend of compelling storytelling emerging from public broadcasters and innovative production houses. It's a testament to her talent that she’s managed to bring such an ambitious project to life with such strong backing.

Premiering at Canneseries is, of course, a huge deal. It’s not just a platform; it's a statement. It signals that 'I Always Sometimes' isn't just a local production but a story with universal appeal, ready to resonate with audiences across the globe. We’re really looking forward to seeing how this delicate, deeply human exploration of love and its many facets will be received. It certainly sounds like the kind of show that will spark conversations and make you reflect on your own 'always' and 'sometimes' moments.
