An article of AfterEllen about Spanish TV series, three years ago, talked about Infidels and the begining of the Dani & Arlet story. www.afterellen.com/TV/2009/5/spanish-tv?page=0%2C2As it's said in the article, Infidels was a very popular series in Catalonia. This is the reason of this cover, Arlet-Aina Clotet with black hair kissing a blond girl, the also well-known actress Nausícaa Bonnin (Sandra in El Cor de la Ciutat). It's the Barcelona's TimeOut of past April 23th, Saint Georges Day, that in Catalonia is the love day, like Valentine. And the review did a special "only for (all kind of) couples".

Marc is very involved on progresive things, as the movies he shoots about the Spanish Civil War, or his commitment in the fight against AIDS his father Dr. Clotet is doing. He's playing the main character in the TV movie Gernika under the bombs, that is being shooting until the end of June. And today, his wife Ana de Armas and him have been the hosts of the AIDS Memorial in Barcelona. Ana and Marc were in a radio program to talk about this commitment. It's a very interesting interview, the first one they do together. rac1.org/elmon/categories/entrevista/ He said he was born and grew up with AIDS. When he was a child, people with AIDS usually died and his father was working 24/7. He has lived the evolution of the illness because his father talked to his family about it. All the Clotet family is very involved on AIDS, and his wife Ana as the new member of the family also does. The goal of the interview is the broadcasting of the concert "Our songs against AIDS"that will happen in Barcelona (in the Olympic Palau Sant Jordi) next June 8th. A great concert with all the most popular Catalan singers and bands, whose takings are all for the Dr. Clotet' AIDS foundation. Because now with the crisis, they have strong problems to get the money to continue with the research about VIH. A popular newspaper, El Periódico, is aiding in this goal. It makes people to take part in it voting the Catalan song of their life. The 10 ones most voted will be sung in the concert, and the first one will be sung at the end of the concert together for all the singers and bands. This is a link with the newspaper page. A clip can be seen, shotted in the hospital where Dr. Clotet works. It talks about the VIH research... and how the scientists of the foundation were surprised when they discovered how music destroy the virus! And the special effect of live music in AIDS. The musics that will take part in the concert talks also about their surprise when they saw the results of their songs. Of course, it's an ad about the concert! www.elperiodico.com/es/noticias/ocio-y-cultura/periodico-invita-escoger-cancion-que-cerrara-concierto-benefico-del-junio-1758323

"Infidels" was a series of 3 seasons and 42 parts, about five women who are friends. The channel who produced and aired it is TV3 (from Catalonia, Spain), the same that did El Cor de la Ciutat. One of these women, the teacher Arlet, has as a love story with another woman, Dani. Arlet is played by the actress Aina Clotet, sister of Marc Clotet, who played Iago in El Cor de la Ciutat, and Vaquero in FoQ. As all the series of TV3, Infidels (Unfaithful), it's in Catalan, but the Dani& Arlet's story can be found with subs. in English, and also in Spanish, in The Kunstler channel of YT. This is part 1 of epi. 1, English subs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5moxCpF_QuE&list=UUHeDyxVtigSqn4zoQzQkqWg&index=59&feature=plcp

In a interview, Marc explained his character is Angel, a Gernika's upper class young man (25), who likes very much women and the good life, and hasn't any interest on politics- But the war changed him. It's the same thing that happened with Bernat and his character Karl in BCN ciutat neutral. And also the same character as Vaquero (but FoQ deceived me because they didn't show any change, even when Vaquero passed some time in South America to explain his slimming during the shooting of La Voz Dormida). In the interview, he says also it's useful for playing Angel all what he learned for playing Paulino (information and feelings of people who lived the war). www.elcorreo.com/alava/v/20120427/television/vengo-cargado-sentimientos-20120427.htmlEva's web about Marc, with the page about Gernika containing a clip of its presentation. Marc says his character is very interesting because the war makes him discover things about himself that he didn't know. marcclotet.es.tl/Gernika-bajo-las-bombas.htmAs La Voz Dormida, Gernika will have his opening in September, in the San Sebastian Film Festival.

Just 75 years ago, April 26th 1937, the town of Gernika suffered a horrible bombing, whose horror was widespread by Picasso in his most famous picture. The town became a symbol. As I have told, one of the commemorative acts has been the presentation of the shooting of the miniseries "Gernika under the bombs". Marc plays the main character in this TV movie. I still don`t know who is it. But maybe he's the man of the statue, the war correspondent George Sterr, who explained to the world the tragedy. The important thing Sterr said is who were the criminals who did it: the nazi airforce, whose participation in Franco's side was strongly denied. Sterr was the key witness who proved it (and Marc speaks English).

"Can Vermut", the bar owned by Bernat and Alex, is in the port of Mahon, the capital of Menorca. This is a pic of this port: It's curious, because it has a relationship with El Cor. The ship where Quim died (and David -Alex survived to the accident) was traveling to the Baleares. Bernat and Alex, cousins in the fiction, have now also a business in real life. A business near the sea, so important in Quim and Max's life. This is the web page of the port, in English (ow, this island was a part of the British Empire during 70 years in the XVIII Century): puertomao.com/index_ingles.htmMarc's shooting of Gernika begins May 7th.

Omar, el enlace es de la página oficial de AETR. Dentro de esta página hay una sección especial para Ana y Teresa, que es la que puse en el enlace. Es evidente que dan mucha importancia a su historia ya que es la única que tiene esa sección especial. En ella están los momentos más relevantes de su historia. No está entera, pero sí lo más destacado. Para seguirla entera, se ha de ir a los capítulos de las temporadas 4ª y 5ª, que están todos colgados en la misma página. Y en los que la historia de ellas se ve junto con otras (útiles, por otra parte, para ver en qué contexto politico y social se desarrolla la historia; el padre de Ana es un empresario exitoso, pero el de Teresa es un preso político).

This Tuesday, Marc Clotet (Vaquero) was in a show in a Catalan TV channel. The interview with him was very interesting. The topic was obscenity. They talked about the reactions toward the Jennifer Lopez's "Dance again" clip. The interviewer said obscenity is in the gaze of the viewer, and not in the maker. Marc agrees, and the interviewer says Marc has done some scenes in some series that some people could think they're obscene, but Marc didn't think it when he shot it. Marc agrees and says has made many scenes of that kind. As what he did with Bernat Quintana in El Cor. This is the article of the web page with the clip (headline: Marc: "I'm less and less inclined to shirt off without reason"): www.8tv.cat/8aldia/videos/marc-clotet-un-actor-catala-que-triomfa-a-madrid/Then, they remembered another series with problems of this kind: Fisica o Quimica, and the news from Italy about the suspension of its re-broadcasting because "it spreads homosexuality and depraved sexual behavior". "You're banned in Italy, Marc!", they said. Marc defended the series. There were some strong topics and scenes, but the series was useful for parents to talk about these topics with their sons and daughters. He also says he thinks the series isn't perfec and some things could have been better made. Then the interviewer said, for example, Marc allways are seen in underwere and it seems he was contracted for doing it. Marc says it was only at the beginning, and he thinks there were more reasons, because after his first shirt-off, if he wouldn't have anything else to offer, he shouldn't continue being contracted. But it's true the channels show bodies to get audience. When the interviewer asked him if he let to be used this way, he says that less and less. "It isn't for sense of decency, it must be well made and having sense". And explains that when he started to do casting in Madrid (coming from Barcelona, where he was playing his wonderful Iago), he was shocked when he was asked to shirt-off (then, the interviewer asked him if it was a man, or a woman, who asked him, and he says a woman, but for being necesary for his character in El Comisario (the series he did before FoQ, where he played a cop). But he thinks sex scenes can be beautifully shotted with naked bodies without showing everything (it depends on the ability of cameramen), and it's better than show people making love in underwere, or after sex, fully covered with a sheet. Afterwards, they talk about Jennifer Lopez, who did his husband to appear in her clip; so, first she has sex and after, does the clip. Madonna, instead, first shoots the clips and after, she wants to have with men from her clips. The following topic was Marc's private life. He's happily married and papparazzi and reviews publish lies about him (a pregnacy of his wife and a crisis with her that didn't happen). Marc says it happens not only to him, but to friends of him, and it makes him distrust about what is published. He's also asked about his new projects. A movie that is in postproduction, "La Estrella". And he's preparing his character for a TV movie "Gernika" that is to been shooting, about an episode of the Spanish Civil War (like La Voz Dormida), the symbolic bombing of the town of Gernika (maybe the reason of his beard!). When he's asked about shooting out of Spain, and about his web page prepared to have an English version, he says he studied business and has made of himself a product to be sold. And he thinks in South America, for example, a great market for this product. And maybe in Hollywood? And acting is like other professions, it needs hard work because there are many people who could do it better than you, and each year that passes, younger people could get what you have. So Marc (32 next April 29th) asks mature characters (as father of family).

Cyrano's rehearses have started, and it's like Julieta & Romeo's ones: with swards' fightings! Bernat could think. "Ow, I have done this stuff before!" www.youtube.com/watch?v=yF2l4ZuvEZ4Love the classic hair flip! Yes, Bernatfan, it's just because the hair flip that I recognized Bernat as the young man in black. And it shows it's a Bernat's gesture, and not only a Max's one. Despite in the series, it had some meanings (f.e. troubled, as when Iago decided to come out specially to Sergi the cop and kissed him at Peris). About Marc this Tuesday he was in a show in a Catalan TV station. The interview with him was very interesting. The topic was obscenity.

This is from a Spanish Novela. It takes place in the civil war of Spain but by the time the lesbian storyline get introduced, I believe it's over. The timeline seems to be kind of complicated. This is the only video I found that has English Subtitles (it starts from Capítulo 79). Malexita was the one that uploaded the storyline This clip is from the 5th season (which main story was Ana & Teresa's). Ana and Teresa, both married and Teresa pregnant, have argued. Teresa is annoyed because Ana is clearly atracted to Rosa, a beautiful actress. By then, both (Ana and Teresa) have had a sexual relationship after some drinks, but decided not to continue it because all the kind of problems they could have. But Teresa became jealous and something moves inside her. The posibility of losing Ana, and the thinking about to do the following step (to become a couple with her and to leave her husband), these were the reasons for her to suffer a panic crisis.

Thanks, Ómar. I'm a very strong fan of AETR and I didn't any post about the Ana&Teresa love story because in this board there weren't any space for lesbian stories. This story happens in the 50's, during Franco's rule, and talks about the problems that LGTB people had in these times. In all the seasons there is a main character who is gay or lesbian. Ana and Teresa were the main characters in the 4th and 5th season (1950-1953). Now they're airing the 7th season, that happens in 1956-57. There is a gay character, Julio, as the 6th had another one that was a main one, Ubaldo. Both men show the imposibility of having a love story in that time for gay people. First of all, because people denied their sexual desires because their lives could be very sad (gaybashing with no legal consequences for the ofenders because what was punished was to be gay, blackmails, etc.). This season, the Ana&Teresa love story continues. They appeared in some episodes and now they're been blackmailed for some intimate fotos of both in their bed. As many lesbians in the past, they started being intimate friends without recognizing their own feelings to themselves. After, when they were sure about their feelings, they decided not to have a sexual relationship because they would have many problems. And both married a man. In fact, Ana married Teresa's brother, so they're sisters-in-law. But their husbands were very unhappy because, at the end, the two women couldn't avoid their feelings and desires and became lovers. The actresses Marina San José (Ana), and Carlota Olcina (Teresa) won a LGTB price. Marina San José is daughter of the singers Victor Manuel and Ana Belén, very commited in the fighting against Franco's rule. And Carlota Olcina played the character Nuria, one of the main ones in El Cor de la Ciutat. Nuria was the pianist that became Max's sister when Clara, Nuria's mother, adopted him. In the AERT web page there is a special about the Ana&Teresa story, with all its phases, from their simple friendship, to now (in the series, February 1957), when they're living together in Santander, a quiet town far from Madrid and by the beach. People thinks they live together because they're sisters-in-law and because Ana has a child from his late husband, that is also Teresa's only nephew from her late only brother. So both women are bringing up together a child and are a family. This is the link with Ana and Teresa page, from de official web of Amar en tiempos revueltos (Love in troubled times): www.rtve.es/television/amar/ana-teresa/

This Tuesday, several actors of "Much Ado About Nothing" went to the high school of the town where tomorrow they're playing it. A teacher of this place (Instituto Cirvianum, of Torelló, near Barcelona) toke and hanged this pic in her twitter: I put also a link with reviews (in Catalan) of all the plays Bernat has done, and also about the new one, Cyrano. He's the only actor put as a label with the main one (Arquillue who plays Cyrano), so it's sure he's playing the handsome Christian. butaquesisomnis.blogspot.com.es/search/label/Bernat%20Quintana

Hi! I have some news about both Marc and Bernat. Marc continues waiting Gernika's miniseries's shooting. And now he's doing a short about violence against women, "Cicatrices" (Scars). He has shot some scenes in a very beautiful place, an old mill that now is a hotel in the mountain. In the Facebook page of the hotel, "Molino El Salobre, there are some pics of the shooting and the actors, Marc among them: www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.223471721052794.57727.197675283632438&type=1#!%20/%20elsalobre Bernat is doing perfomances of Much Ado About Nothing, and has started the rehearses of Cyrano de Bergerac. This is the web page of the company, La Perla 29. The venue of La Perla 29's performances is the Library of Catalonia, a beautiful gothic building (XV century). www.laperla29.com/eng/index.phpI think Bernat will play the handsome young Christian. Because in the La Perla web, the cast is in alphabetical order, but in a newspaper article about the starting of the rehearses, there is another order and he's the third named, after the main actor (Pere Arquillué) and the main actress (Marta Betriu). This is the link: www.ara.cat/cultura/Oriol_Broggi-Pere_Arquillue-Cyrano_de_Bergerac-Biblioteca_de_Catalunya_-BC-La_Perla_29_0_664133740.htmlThe play will be performed from May 23th to July 15th. Thanks, Erika!

Iritalia, we have now images of Marc with long and short hair. It seems he cut his hair for going to the Goya Award Gala! What do you prefer? Marc in the cover of the sunday review of the main Spanish liberal newspaper (as the NY Times), El País. In a report about the new faces of the Spanish movies, all of them known for TV series. With another 4 finalists for the awards, among them, the two main actress of his movie; one of them, María Leon, who plays his beloved, won the award for the best new actress. Unfortunately, Marc didn't get it. The award for the best new actor went to Jan Cornet, for his character in Almodovar's La piel que habito (The skin I live in). All the pics, among them several actors of FoQ: cultura.elpais.com/cultura/2012/02/17/album/1329481854_804384.html#1329481854_804384_1329481897
