Daniel Sanchez Arevalo's filmography (Fat People, Cousinhood, Seventeen) has given us great male characters: "I really wanted to dive into the female universe and I was so eager that in the end I not only got into the skin of a woman, but of five women", says the filmmaker.

Daniel Sanchez Arevalo is preparing the shooting of his first fiction series, based on his own original idea, which he himself has written and will direct. This new original series, which Atipica Films will produce for Netflix, has no definitive title yet and will start shooting at the end of summer in several locations in Andalusia and Madrid.

The new fiction of the Seventeen’sdirector has 6 episodes and will tell the story of five women in their thirties, close friends since school and who every year without exception organize a week-long getaway together. This year something has come up that will force them to invent new rules of the game. Some trips change your life forever. There are lives that change your trips forever.
