Palmeras en la nieve, the book from spanish writer Luz Gabás, is definitely going to be taken to the screens. That was confirmed yesterday in the San Sebastián ilm Festival. The project has been presented in a press conference held by the director Fernando González Molina, Luz Gabás herself, the producer Mercedes Gamero from Atresmedia Cine and by the actor Mario Casas who's going to play the role of Kilian, one of the main characters in the novel. Some footage from the screen tests has been shown as an advance of the future movie.

The success of this great story, one year after its publication, is undeniable. Its adaptation is being developed by scriptwriter Sergio G. Sánchez who also attended the conference.

Once again the province of Huesca is going to be the scene for a feature. For this film this is a natural choice: the roots that tie the characters to Huesca's Pyrenees, condition their evolution through the narration. The film's also going to be shot in the Canary Islands and in Costa Rica. The shooting is planned for next year.

The choice of an excellent story, and a great team behind the project are the perfect ingredients for a succesful release. That's what we, from Huesca Film Office, wish for the film.
