The young Aitzol Aramaio feature film debut in 'Un poco de chocolate', a film in which he has assembled an excellent cast led by Héctor Alterio

Actors Otxoa Gorka, Barbara Goenaga and Marián Aguilera pose with director Aitzol Aramaio and film producers. 

The young filmmaker Aitzol Aramaio, when he read the novel by Unai Elorriaga A Tram in SP (winner of National Prize for Fiction in 2002), felt a need to turn this story on film. Especially for the "positive attitude towards life" that keeps the protagonist and his ability to spread it to everyone around him. Magical, serene and with a touch of humor, Un poco de chocolate was the film chosen to close yesterday the eleventh edition of the Festival de Málaga.

Héctor Alterio is Lucas. Just left the hospital and his head sails between the everyday and fantasy. He and his sister María will accompany the ghosts of loved ones who they have lost along the way, but also have an unexpected presence that of a boy who has crept into his home during his absence. Marcos, who flees the stifling family atmosphere and situated next to Lucas and María, is an honest and friendly company. Roma, as lonely as Marcos, live with her the great love story. All this is located in the old harbor of Bilbao, which becomes "a character in the film," said the director. "When you walk in it looks like you've reached another place where time stops and go to another rhythm," said Aramaio.

Julieta Serrano, Bárbara Goenaga and Daniel Brühl are part of the protagonists. "It was important the communion between youth and age, some endangered," said the newcomer. "We wanted to show that they relate for pleasure, not out of obligation, and they are just comfortable in that company," added the director who has enjoyed the production of Luisa Matienzo and Mundo Ficción. "The script moved me on first reading because it is a film that had the essentials of life, like love, kindness, friendship, yet so obsolete these days," said Matienzo, who stressed the total delivery actors, "has been a pleasure working with Alterio and Julieta."

This is the film which some people have dubbed "Marian's phone-in" appearance. I personally think it's a creepy movie -- any movie with a creepy old man is ...creepy! This is especially true in the scene where Marian Aguilera and the old man Lucas are on the tram. "Creepy" at its best!

The movie is based on the novel by Unai Elorriaga's novel Un Tranvia en SP, published in 2001 by the Basque publishing Elkar. Filmed in Gorliz , Algorta and Bilbao. It officially premiered at the Getxo Antzokia of Getxo on Friday April 25, 2008.

The movie is slow; stripped to the core, it's about growing old and dying, and how those make some people reminiscence. Marian Aguilera plays Rosa (special appearance, of a few minutes, if i may add), who is probably from Lucas' past or imagination.

The film won the Young Jury Award at the International Film Festival of Cartagena (2008).

A woman in the fifties walking slowly on a street in Bilbao. Gets on a vintage tram and while she is away from the door, someone throws a look of being knocked. Cut! Aramaio Aitzol gives the order and actress Marian Aguilera takes a breather, while Hector Alterio kills time reading the newspaper.

The filming of "Un tranvía en SP" enters its third week and the good atmosphere in the team is palpable. The heat is overwhelming this morning in Bilbo, but no one complains, not even the actress Ana Elordi, which have been dressed in a tight dress and a cardigan to make passing the tram. The old convoy of the fifties, brought from Museo del Ferrocarril de Azpeitia/Azpeitia Railway Museum, is now the star of the shoot, which for a few hours leave the Puerto Viejo de Algorta to Uribitarte spring.

Aitzol Aramaio (Ondarroa, 1971), after struggling in the world of the film, faces his first with enthusiasm and optimism. The script based on the novel by Unai Elorriaga, with Michel Gaztambide was enough to convince a monster performance as Hector Alterio to embody Lucas, a 80 year old man who mixes his memories and dreams reality eight thousand meters up at Mount Shisha Pangma. Daniel Brühl ("Salvador") plays Marcos, a young squatters who happens to share the life of Lucas. Julieta Serano, Barbara Goenaga, Ramón Barea and Mikel Albizu are other actors involved in the adaptation of the novel that gave Unai Elorriaga the Spanish National Prize for Fiction in 2002. With this squad of players and technical team whose dimensions are "manageable" Aitzol Aramaio understandably say that it is a "joy".

"It's been a very enjoyable shoot. The atmosphere is fantastic, both in the technical team and with the actors. Above all, there is much creativity, so much so that the script is taking another dimension with input from the people." A few days with embarrassment, others with incessant rains, the team's motto is "a brave face." "When you have done wrong, we have to shoot indoors. All is well," added the director.

The adaptation of " SPrako tranbia" is quite loose, but remains true to its spirit, according to the director. "In the book there are many thoughts and we have had to give it all a narrative. That's where I've gotten a lot of my own personal stories. But even so, the film is closely related to the novel." A first reading " SPrako tranbia" led Aramaio to special "emotion", he recalled yesterday. "The feeling that woke me was a determining factor for deciding to shoot, despite the difficulties." With a tone "very natural," the film will be, as the director of Ondarroa, "of actors and emotions." So, it is "a delight to have this deal. It's a bargain." The pleasure appears mutual, as even the likes of actor Héctor Alterio who has only good words to Aramaio. "Look, the directors have a more or less similar pattern. What differs them is character. There are directors who create quiet spaces for working, entertaining spaces, and that is the case of Aitzol, who, above, is making a really funny and engaging film. "

Reading the script, Argentinean actor soon saw that he was "facing a current story." Alterio describes his character as someone who "travels to the edge of reason, about to enter the stadium that mysterious memory loss, but in the most lucid recover his past through images and characters." He continues, "an attractive character, and above, I am surrounded by friendly people, which makes waiting times turn into a party. I like the idea that I'm working with Aitzol joining the industry."
