If we believed that romances that extolled angry naughty gentlemen it had ended with ‘Three meters above the sky’ or ‘After’, we were wrong. ‘My fault’ is Amazon Prime Video’s new commitment to youth romances of this style, including a pseudo-incest plot.
Forbidden love?
The “fault” of the project lies with Alex de la Iglesia and Carolina Bangthat decided to produce the film through Pokeepsie Films. Neither of them had read the ‘Culpables’ saga by Mercedes Ron, which has succeeding on Wattpad since the writer began publishing it back in 2017. In fact, it was originally going to be a single book but then it became a trilogy.
However, the daughters of the director of ‘El día de la bestia’ were very fans and insisted on betting on this story, which finally materialized in the film directed by Domingo González, which Amazon Prime Video launches June 8. González assures that “it is the film of his life”, that it is one of those that engage and that it has maintained the essence of the book.
‘My fault’ tells the story of Noah, a young woman who must leave her city, her boyfriend and her friends behind to go live in the mansion of her mother’s new husband. As if that wasn’t enough drama, there she meets her stepbrother Nick, who seems unbearable at first but soon will fall at his feet when he discovers that he is involved in illegal races.
A kind of cross between ‘The family grows’ and ‘Three meters above the sky’, dotted with ‘Fast & Furious’ moments. It is starring Nicole Wallace (‘Skam Spain’) and gabriel guevara (‘HIT’), and the rest of the cast is made up of Martha Hazas (‘Velvet Collection’) , Ivan Massagué (‘The hole’), ivan sanchez (‘Central Hospital’) and Victor Varona (‘Big Sky’) .
mercedes ron what was inspired by the Taylor Swift song ‘I knew you were in trouble’ to create the story, she said that she was scared when reading the script because it was different but that in the end she was satisfied with the result, since the action “is more enjoyable on screen and that “the scenes of love, they have been very beautiful and well cared for”.
