The fiction, starring Iria del Río and Francesco Carril, has had the collaboration of Nacho Vegas for several of their official songs. The artist’s homonymous song, which puts a finishing touch to the final episode, It came to light last Thursday, November 14.

“One of the virtues of The New Years is that it invites the viewer to delve into the story and adopt an active role from which they can reconstruct what is not explicitly told: what has happened in the lives of the characters of Ana and Óscar throughout each entire year between chapter and chapter. For me this was fundamental when writing the song.“, confesses the singer.
The author of Eight and a half, The man who almost met Michi Panero or grief or nothingness He affirms that Sorogoyen is a filmmaker whom he admires “a lot” and that he “knows well” his music. The artist hopes that have “managed to express” with the theme “even a thousandth part” of what the series team “has managed to express with the language of cinema.”
“Our lives, alone or together, are linked to a list of songs. Sometimes one turns to it constantly. Other times, without knowing very well why, one abandons oneself for a while. Sometimes you get sick of a song and you can never listen to it again. But they always remain engraved in people’s life journey.“, comments Sorogoyen about the presence of music in The New Years, which from the beginning has had a “major” importance.
“There are songs that will always remind me of my partner. Or that time we took that trip. Or when being apart that melody made us feel closer to each other. How could the same not happen to Ana and Óscar. “We have tried to create a soundtrack with existing rock and national indie songs to directly appeal to the generation that the series portrays,” added the filmmaker.
“Ana turns 30 on New Year’s Day with life still unresolved: she lives in a shared apartment, she doesn’t like her job, she changes friends often… Oscar turns 30 on New Year’s Eve with life almost resolved: vocational doctor, faithful friends, and a relationship that comes and goes. The night they both turn 30, they meet, fall in love, and begin a relationship whose comings and goings will last ten years.“, reads the official synopsis of the series.
Sorogoyen, also an executive producer of the series, directs four of the ten episodes that make up the story. The other six chapters are carried out by Sandra Romero (where silence passes) and David Martin de los Santos (Life was that).
