Tiempo después

It seems never seen, but this is the real apocalypse (which is great!)

Planet Earth, 9177. The remains of humankind live in a post-apocalyptic environment divided into only two social classes: the ruling king and the oligarchs who inhabit the Representative Building and the poor of the world who hardly survive in the slums built around it.

Interesting facts

Some Time Later is a 2018 absurdist comedy film written and directed by José Luis Cuerda which features an ensemble cast of actors and comedians. Set in the year 9177 and based on the 2015 eponymous novel by Cuerda, the film is billed as a "spiritual sequel" to the 1989 cult film Amanece, que no es poco. It is Cuerda's swan song before his death in 2020.

Production

The screenplay adapted the novel Tiempo después by José Luis Cuerda written in 2015, in turn based on a discarded screenplay from 1997. A group of comedians (including Edu Galán, Andreu Buenafuente, Berto Romero and Arturo Valls) created a group to unshelf the work and produce a film.

The film's main theme, "Tiempo después", is performed by Joaquín Sabina.

A joint Spanish-Portuguese co-production, the film was produced by Tiempo después AIE, Estela Films, Pólvora Films, Lanube Películas, El Terrat and Planar Gestão de Equipamentos Cinematográficos, with the participation of Atresmedia Cine, Entertaintment One, Movistar+, Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha and Castilla-La Mancha Media.

Shooting took place in between the Castilla–La Mancha and the Community of Madrid regions and wrapped by December 2017. Shooting locations included Barrancas del Burujón and Hontanar, in the province of Toledo.

The "dystopic" building in which the fiction is set is a mashup of two iconic 20th-century buildings located in Madrid: the Torres Blancas designed by Javier Sáenz de Oiza and the Spanish Cultural Heritage Institute (aka the 'Crown of Thorns') by Fernando Higueras and Antonio Miró. Some of the indoor shots were filmed in Torres Blancas.
