An idea as seemingly simple as it is original: celebrities who travel the route between their school and their childhood home while remembering and sharing experiences that have marked their lives. This is the approach of Camino a casa, the new program of the writer, screenwriter, producer and director Albert Espinosa that arrives on La Sexta tomorrow Thursday after El intermedio.
“It was always the program that I wanted to do, maybe because I stopped going to school at the age of 14 and stopped making my way home because of cancer”, revealed Espinosa at the presentation from the program to the media. The manager of Red Bracelets will accompany six guests on this sentimental journey in this first installment: JesulÃn de Ubrique (first episode), Luis Tosar, Rosa López, Fernando Tejero, Ana Peleteiro and Pocholo MartÃnez-Bordiú.
“It will be a very emotional program in which we will see how the different celebrities open up on the channel and show a facet of their lives that we have not seen until now. We will take a trip inside him, but also to his childhood”, emphasized Espinosa.
For his part, Jorge Salvador, executive director of the production company 7 y Acción, defined Espinosa as “an emotional terrorist” and “a wandering poet, a man who has all the beautiful things that a human being can have and he teaches it” . Regarding the format, he stated that “it is boutique television, one of those gems that you can occasionally do on television, which is a luxury. Its gorgeous. You will cry”, he warned.
Regarding the anecdotes from the shoot, Salvador commented that they had been able to enter the schools where the celebrities studied without any problem, except for one, that of Pocholo. “I don’t know what he did when he was little”, said Salvador, between laughs.
“With the others we had no problem, in fact, it was very exciting, such as the delivery of Luis Tosar, who will be reunited with the teacher who encouraged him to enter the world of interpretation. Or that of Fernando Tejero, who had to demolish it five days after we made the recording”, he detailed.
Camino a casa will also offer tougher moments, such as that of Fernando Tejero, since he “did not have a happy childhood”, or that of Ana Peleteiro, who suffered bullying as a child and the program will show how “the anger that having as a child turned into a strength†that helped her become an Olympic champion.
“Each person you meet brings you to an emotion that we have not seen from these well-known people until now”, commented Espinosa. “It’s very comfortable for them, because they don’t have to talk about the future, their partner, recent things, they have to talk about who they were and a very emotional conversation is created”, he continued.
For the creator and presenter of the program “the most beautiful thing is that we will see the child behind each adult”, especially when they are reunited with the sandwich of their childhood, the majority of Nocilla. “I think that everyone after watching the program will want to make their own way home from school”, he predicted.
