An idea as seemingly simple as it is original: celebrities who walk the path between their school and their childhood home while they remember and share experiences that have marked their lives. This is the approach of Camino a casa, the new program by the writer, scriptwriter, producer and director Albert Espinosa that tomorrow Thursday arrives at La Sexta after El intermedio.
“It was always the program that I wanted to do, perhaps because I stopped going to school at the age of 14 and stopped making my way home because of cancer,” Espinosa confessed in the presentation of the program to the media. The person in charge of Polseres vermelles will accompany six guests in this first installment: JesulÃn de Ubrique (in tomorrow’s 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 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 and his childhood,” said Espinosa.
For his part, Jorge Salvador, executive director of the production company 7 y Acción, defined Espinosa as “an emotional terrorist” and “a walking poet, a man who takes everything beautiful that a human being can have and teaches it.” Regarding the format, he stated that “it is boutique television, one of those jewels that you can do on television from time to time, which is a luxury. Is beautiful. You’re going to cry.” And he confessed: “It’s not that I cried, it’s that there are scenes that I’ve staged and I’ve seen them 15 times and 15 times I had to hide the fact that my eyes turn red.”
Regarding anecdotes from the filming, Salvador commented that they had been able to enter without problem the schools where the famous studied, except for one, that of Pocholo. “I don’t know what I would do when I was little,” Salvador said, laughing.
“The rest of us had no problem, in fact, it was very exciting, as in the delivery of Luis Tosar, who is going to meet his teacher who encouraged him to get into acting. Or that of Fernando Tejero, who five days after we made the recording they were going to demolish it, â€he explained.
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 when she was little and the program will show how that “rage she had as a child became a force†that helped her become an Olympic champion.
“With each person you meet, it leads you to an emotion that until now we have not seen from these well-known people,†Espinosa said. “It’s very comfortable for them because they don’t have to talk about the future, about their partner, about recent things, they have to talk about who they were and a very emotional conversation is created,” she continued.
For the creator and host of the program, “the most beautiful thing is that you will see the child behind each adult”, especially when they meet again with the sandwich from their childhood, most of them Nocilla. “I think everyone after watching the show will want to make their own way home from school,†he predicted.
