This year’s MIPCOM, Onza Distribution (Spain) is bringing to Cannes a renewed and diverse content catalogue, including dramas, formats and documentaries. Heading the slate is Young Addictions, a three-episode documentary series that is going to have a great impact because of the subject it deals with: addictions “without substance” in young people.
Young addictionsshows the causes and consequences of the most common drugs among teenagers: non-substance addictions consumed through the screens of their cellphones like social media, porn and online gaming. The series tells the story of three young people: Laura, a teenager who enters a rehabilitation center to detoxify from her addiction to Tik Tok. Bru, a boy who began compulsively consuming pornography at the age of 10, and Daniel, a young man who has lost more than 100,000 euros on online gambling.
Carlos Garde, managing director, also highlights: ‘We cannot forget to mention another documentary series, the long-awaited Real Madrid, the white legend, whose television rights on both Pay TCçV and free tv will finally be available very soon. Also, Portugal TVI‘s telenovela, leader in audience in Portugal, Foreverin which we will be able to see Diogo Morgado again, the protagonist of Oro Verde, winner of the Emmy award’.
Epic victories, magnanimity in defeat, legendary superstar players, and above all great humanity have all contributed to Real Madrid becoming the world’s greatest football phenomenon. The centenarian club has produced a winning team in every era and generation. No other club has matched the success of the eternal champion. It is a role model for the sporting world. The club’s players and admirers take a look back at the milestones and historic adversity that make Real Madrid the best team in the world.
TVI’s Forever shows the story of Pedro, who has always been shrouded in mystery. He was abandoned as a child and grew up in a church. The only thing that has ever made sense to him is his first love; Clara. Clara comes from a high-class family. Her father cannot accept her relationship and sets a trap that will tear them apart forever. A tragic accident will force Pedro to flee without explanation.
According to Garde, the objective of Onza Distributionthis MIPCOM is to bring quality content to the whole world and with a wide variety that allows each customer to find the product they are looking for regardless of their budget. We are very happy because we are going to close the year with an all-time sales record at the distributor and with many new projects that we will be announcing soon’.
