‘Casi todo bien’ explores the frustration and expectations of a creative generation at the Festival de Málaga
Andrés Salmoyraghi and Rafael López Saubidet present a romantic comedy with a melancholic tone about creative block, love, and the search for meaning in the Official Out of Competition section, alongs

The film 'Casi todo bien', directed by Andrés Salmoyraghi and Rafael López Saubidet, has been presented at the 29th Festival de Málaga as part of the Official Out of Competition section, allowing for an encounter with the audience that highlighted the generational nature of the film and its blend of comedy and melancholy.
Alongside the directors, the discussion following the screening included part of the cast: Marcel Borràs, Silma López, Secun de la Rosa, Adelfa Calvo, and Julián Villagrán, as well as José Pastor, Director of Film and Fiction at RTVE.

The film follows Hilario (Marcel Borràs), a writer experiencing writer's block as he tries to make his way in the literary world. His life, marked by publisher rejections and a feeling of stagnation, is disrupted by new relationships that force him to reconsider his aspirations and his understanding of success.

Before the screening, the film was introduced by María Eizaguirre, Director of Communication and Participation at RTVE, as RTVE participated in the production. For this reason, its director of Film and Fiction, José Pastor, confessed how the story captivated them from the start because it addresses, through the lens of romantic comedy, the humanity of people and how difficult life can be in the modern world.

The actors agreed on the love, freedom, and sense of space they felt while working with both directors, which allowed them to deliver very vibrant performances. "They have a unique way of directing that makes it seem like you're not acting, which has resulted in characters with a great deal of naturalness", Adelfa Calvo explained about the feature film, which had its premiere and first screening on the big screen at this festival.

"There was a very clear intention to make them feel real", Rafael López Saubidet stated regarding the naturalness emphasised by the actors, while also praising the high calibre of his cast, which allowed them to achieve the goal of working comfortably. Similarly, Andrés Salmoyraghi echoed his colleague's words, explaining that by avoiding improvisation, they aimed for each actor to internalise their own character to ensure their performances appeared believable and natural.

The project's plot, which stems from experiences close to their own cultural and creative world, as they explained, reflects on the frustration, friendship, love, and expectations that accompany a generation that has grown up with a strong cultural vocation but faces an uncertain professional landscape. In this sense, both Argentine filmmakers emphasised the importance of the literary universe as a backdrop for the story, conveyed through relatable, everyday situations.
