Fernández leads a cast that includes Adam Jezierski (“Vota Juan,” 2019), Francesco Carril (“The New Years,” 2024), and Meritxell Calvo (“Burning Body,” 2023). Bueso co-wrote the film with Óscar Díaz Cruz.

It is his third feature after “La Banda” (2019) and “Llenos de Gracia” (2022), both of which played Spain’s Málaga Festival, and marked his first time in San Sebastián ‘s main competition. “El Mal Padre” is produced by Fernando Bovaira ‘s MOD Producciones and MOD Pictures alongside Misent Producciones and Atresmedia Cine, with the participation of Atresmedia, Netflix and Valencian public broadcaster À Punt, and financing from Spain’s ICAA.

Alex Catalán served as cinematographer. Caramel Films will release the film in Spanish theaters on Nov.
