Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Ferrer shot this during actual pandemic restrictions, using empty Barcelona streets as accidental production value. The meta-layer of making a film about filmmaking during a time when filmmaking was nearly impossible adds unintended resonance.
La Prohibida is a genuine Spanish drag legend, not an actress—her casting blurs the line between performance and authenticity that the entire film interrogates.
