The new Disney+ series “The Long Shadows” is now available and is committed to the top of current Spanish pop. For this reason, they have had the reinterpretation of Ginebras from the classic “How We Have Changed” (Allegedly Implicated) to tell this story full of nostalgia and drama. Lights, camera, theme.
But this is not a normal version: the girls of “Who is Billie Max?” have sprinkled the Spanish pop classic with the mysteries of the thriller and have turned it into an anthem of maximum virality. Trading out some of its lines for plot details and nods to characters, the 1991 track sounds more current than ever. It doesn’t matter that “How we have changed” was born more than three decades ago: the legendary song by Sole Giménez is reborn in the hands of Magüi, Sandra, Raquel and Juls.
Starring Elena Anaya (“The Skin I Live In”), Belén Cuesta (“The Infinite Trench”), Marta Etura (“Cell 211”) and Irene Escolar (“An autumn without Berlin”), the series investigates the secrets of a group of friends whose lives changed on their end-of-year trip to Mallorca. The disappearance of a companion and a blood pact bring them together again now, 25 years later, when the body reappears.
As if the star-studded cast (and the other four at the microphone) weren’t enough, “The Long Shadows” It is directed by one of the most promising directors on the current scene, Clara Roquet. The winner of the Goya award for “Freedom” In 2021 he has given us other vintage hits spread throughout the series. Los Fresones Rebeldes and their “Al Amanecer” and the legendary “Devil came to me” from Dover will sound in this drama full of dangerous friendships and memories. The most alternative sound of the 90s scene on the big screen? We pinch ourselves: no, we are not dreaming.
With one ear on this blockbuster soundtrack and the other on the saying “old sins cast long shadows,” we will discover the nooks and crannies of the enigmatic group of friends completed by the roles of Itziar Atienza, Ana Rayo, Nansi Nsue and Lorena López. Characters who hide much more than they seem and who will give us good doses of LGTBI romances and (not) forgotten traumas.
The latest release of Disney+ It develops between two timelines that will return us to those happy 90s between flashbacks and songs. Of course, with this team of great female talent – both on and off shot – and the focus on the music, we are not responsible for the six episodes being over in a “swipe.” We do not judge: we too have devoured it in one day. And a story like this, full of script twists, hidden relationships and constant intrigue, makes it difficult to pause. We let you enjoy “The Long Shadows” in the catalog of Disney+. We are waiting for you on the dance floor.
