It’s a fragile time for Juan Gil Navarro.
The 49-year-old Argentine actor will star opposite Marc Clotet, Santiago Achaga and Esteban Pérez in Fragile, a slice of Patagonia noir thriller from Argentina’s StoryLab.
Created and produced by StoryLab partners Nacho Viale and Diego Palacio, Fragile is backed by Flow, Telecom’s dominate Argentine SVOD service, and Televisión Publica Argentina, the country’s public broadcast network.
Palacio will direct Fragile from screenplays penned by Lucas Molteni, whose has written on five StoryLab series dating back to 201’s Estocolmo, up-and-coming scribes Juan E. Cordoni and Luciano Cocciardi and Viale and Palacio.
In the series, Olivia, 28, the assistant of a powerful public prosecutor in Spain, flies back to her native village lost in the wilds of Patagonia, to investigate a murder. What looks like a cut-and-dried case leads her to ally with Román, born and raised in a seemingly pacific local community which hides a terrifying past of dark crimes and committed in 1999 by a sect which awaited an Apocalypse. The truth behind the murders will unite Olivia and Román forever.
Currently in soft pre-production, Fragile is currently confirming locations and cast, where StoryLab is looking, for example, for two Spanish female talents.
“People explore the relations between Spain and Argentina because we have always bonded. In fact, Argentina’s current Argentine society has strong roots in Spanish customs,” Palacio and Viale told Variety.
“Naturally, entertainment reflects that connection and we are passionate about reflecting it. Outstanding collaborations between talents from both countries have left a mark on the Ibero-American film and television industry,” they added, citing This collaborative spirit between the two countries has already the “wonderful experience “of working with Marc Clotet and Natalia Sánchez on our latest Argentine series Ultimo Primer Día.
