Between Two Waters is a 2018 Spanish-language docufiction drama film directed by Isaki Lacuesta, who co-wrote the screenplay with Isa Campo and Fran Araújo. It stars the brothers Israel Gómez Romero and Francisco José "Cheíto" Gómez Romero, revisiting the people whom Lacuesta had filmed as adolescents in The Legend of Time (2006). The film combines scripted fiction with elements drawn from the brothers' lives and was shot in and around San Fernando, Cádiz.

Production

Between Two Waters grew out of Lacuesta's earlier film The Legend of Time, in which he had followed Isra and Cheíto as teenagers. Lacuesta remained in contact with the brothers and conceived the films as a possible long-term portrait of their lives. Although events and experiences from their surroundings informed the new film, Lacuesta described it as a fiction film whose scenes were staged and scripted to create a strongly realist effect.

Principal photography began on 14 August 2017 in San Fernando and nearby Rota, in the province of Cádiz. The production occupied a space between documentary portraiture and narrative fiction. It was shot on film rather than digitally, and includes footage from The Legend of Time to emphasize the passage of time.

The screenplay was written by Lacuesta, Campo and Araújo. The film was produced as a Spanish–Swiss–Romanian co-production by La Termita Films, Bteam Prods, All Go Movies, Mallerich Films Paco Poch, Bord Cadre Films and Studio Indie Productions. Diego Dussuel served as cinematographer, Sergi Dies and Domi Parra edited the film, and the score was composed by Kiko Veneno and Raül Refree.
