The film, which premiered in Madrid before its release in theaters on November 20, shows how everyday legal situations can transform people’s lives and highlight the value of legal advice
Harassment problems arising from the misuse of artificial intelligence, family conflicts, claims against the Administration, possible medical negligence, or complex situations that affect citizens’ rights. These are issues that are part of the lives of many people and yet rarely take a leading role on the big screen. With the aim of bringing that reality closer to the public, Legálitas has collaborated on Hechos Probados, a production inspired by legal situations recognizable to any citizen that will arrive in theaters on November 20.
The film held its premiere this Tuesday at the Cines Callao in Madrid, where the cast members and the production’s creative team were joined by representatives from the world of culture, communication, and business. The red carpet featured the leading actresses Marta Hazas and Amaia Salamanca, as well as Ginés García Millán, Elena Furiase, Javier Veiga and Aitor Luna, among other cast members.
Beyond its cinematic dimension, Hechos Probados brings the public closer to a reality that is part of everyday life for millions of people: the need to know their rights and have legal support to make informed decisions in decisive moments.
The story follows Inés and Delia, two sisters of lawyers who are distanced by past conflicts and are forced to reunite to defend a case of medical negligence. As the investigation progresses, both will have to face not only the complexity of the legal procedure, but also the personal and emotional consequences of their decisions.
From everyday advice to the big screen
Through its collaboration on the project, Legálitas has helped to translate into audiovisual language legal conflicts that are close and recognizable to citizens, away from the major judicial proceedings that traditionally take center stage in the legal genre.
The experience accumulated by the company over more than 25 years advising families, self-employed individuals, and small businesses has served as inspiration for building stories with familiar situations for the viewer, reinforcing a vision of Law that is closer, more accessible, and linked to everyday life.
In this regard, the film’s director, Luis Arranz, highlighted at the premiere the contribution made by Legálitas to the creative process: "His day-to-day experience has been fundamental to build the stories from truth. I think the viewer will discover something very important: that a lawyer is not a being that is there, in another galaxy, but someone close, accessible, and capable of helping in situations that can affect anyone".
Elena Furiase, for her part, placed the focus on legal prevention, one of the film’s central messages. "You shouldn’t turn to a lawyer when you need one, but before you need one. That sums it all up," she said during the presentation.
With its release in theaters scheduled for next November 20, Hechos Probados seeks to open a conversation about the importance of knowing one’s own rights and fostering a culture of legal prevention that allows citizens to face, with greater security, the legal challenges of their daily lives.
Hechos Probados has the collaboration of Legálitas as sponsor and content advisor, the production of Zebra Producciones and Zebra Canarias, both from the iZen Group, and the delegated production of UM, FUSE (Omnicom Media) and Be iZen (iZen Group).
