“The triumph of love is the solution and it is being seen these days”

– The actress stars in ‘Mamen Mayo’, an original SkyShowtime series that will be released on Monday, November 18

‘Mamen Mayo’the first original Spanish series of SkyShowtime that combines comedy with family drama, arrives on the platform with its eight episodes next Monday, November 18. Starring by Silvia April (‘Verts’, ‘Father there is only one’), the fiction follows an inheritance mediator with a particular way of approaching disputesmore focused on emotions and reconciliation than on the dictates of the law. The actress has reflected on the value of love when resolving conflictssomething that, according to what he points out, is also being demonstrated now with the terrible disaster caused in Valencia after the passage of DANA.

“The triumph of love is the solution for everything and it is being seen these days“said the interpreter in an interview with Europa Press, relating the background of the series with the citizen response to the tragedy in Valencia. “In the end, people save people.”says Pablo Capuz (‘Merlí. Sapere Aude’), who in ‘Mamen Mayo’ plays the assistant of Abril’s character, a young man who has recently graduated who wants to be part of his father’s law firm and often clashes with its unorthodox methods. from Mamen.

In the same vein as his co-stars, Mona Martínez (‘The Gypsy Bride’) argues that, with respect to what has happened in recent weeks, “we must highlight, above all, the capacity for solidarity,” which is “what excites” and what “we all aspire to.” “That’s what stands out, empathy and stopping to think about someone who has lost everything and what you can do to make it a little better.”he explains.

Martínez emphasizes that what happened is a tragedy more than a drama and that there are people whose lives “have changed forever.” “But there are many people who are discovering that they want to help, who grab a backpack and go, and whoever is there, I imagine how much they appreciate it.”“he adds.

“Once again, it’s like the people have risen to the occasion, right? We have to hold on to the humanity that exists in Spain because it is what we see that really saves. The management… well, very dubious“, says Clara Sans (‘Cardo’).

THE DRAMA OF INHERITANCE

The interpreters agree in pointing out the brighter tone of a series that, according to Capuz, “is characterized by having a lot of heart.” “I think people will be comforted at the end of each chapter.“, reflects the actor, also predicting that the viewer will not “laugh without being moved” and vice versa.

Martínez confesses that “it would give him a lot of satisfaction if someone wanted to reunite with someone who is disunited” after watching ‘Mamen Mayo’. “I think it’s a series to re-establish ties and ask yourself what the relationships in your life have been like, the people you love, that you’ve loved…“says Sans. The actresses reflect on how there are families that have been separated by inheritance and how, as fiction shows, sometimes it is not so much about claiming the material part that one believes belongs to one as it is about reconciling.

“One seems to be demanding money, but in the end you don’t know if he also claims that he wanted mom’s breast, just for himself, right? Or he needed her for himself“, Martínez ventures. “Money seems to take precedence, but there is also always something of ‘you didn’t love me’, ‘you loved me less’, ‘you loved the other more’,” notes the actress, who calls it “genius “the fact that, beginning in conflict, the episodes always end in union, in “adhesion.”

In any case, and despite starting from a situation as dramatic as an inheritance, something inevitably linked to the death of a loved one, SkyShowtime’s fiction is still a comedy, which addresses conflicts with a certain touch of humor. “When a drama stretches, stretches, stretches… In the end it comes down to comedy, right? “Sometimes we do so, so, so much drama, that we fall into ridicule,” says Abril, who highlights the skill of the series’ scriptwriters and directors when it comes to working on that peculiar tone.

‘Mamen Mayo’ has been created by Eduard Solà (‘House on Fire’, ‘The Body on Fire’), who also serves as showrunner alongside Miguel Ángel Faura. In addition to the already mentioned Abril, Capuz, Martínez and Sans, the cast of the fiction is completed by Óscar de la Fuente (‘The Good Patron’), Francisco Reyes (‘The Kingdom’) and Javier Pereira (‘Stockholm’), among others. .
