Leticia Dolera is one of the most important voices in contemporary audiovisual media. She is releasing Pubertat, the new series created, directed, and starring her, which is set to debut on HBO Max in September. This new project by Dolera, who previously captivated audiences with Vida perfecta, offers an approach to a family drama that unfolds after a report of sexual assault among teenagers, creating deep tension between the families involved.
Giving voice to a silenced topic
Set in the days leading up to the Night of San Juan, the plot begins when a scandal erupts on social media, where three young people are identified as alleged aggressors. This conflict raises a troubling question: can a teenager be considered a sexual aggressor, or is it simply a matter of confusion? The series delves into the complexities of adolescence and the taboos surrounding maturity.
The cast of Pubertat includes Xavi Sáez, Betsy Túrnez, and Carla Quílez, among others, with Quílez standing out in a group of young actors who are taking their first steps in the industry. The screenplay is co-written by Almudena Monzú and David Gallart, promising a well-crafted and thoughtful narrative.
In Pubertat, Dolera explores not only family dynamics but also the burden of psychological inheritance, passed down from generation to generation. The series addresses relevant issues in today’s society, such as the effects of silence and the stigma surrounding sexual assault, which could resonate deeply with contemporary audiences. With a strong focus on youth and formative experiences, Pubertat stands out as a captivating title that invites reflection.
