In the run-up to Locarno, Paris-based MPM Premium has swooped on world sales rights to “On the Go,” a showcase of the acting talents of Omar Ayuso, Omar in Netflix mega-hit “Elite,” pla…
, Omar in Netflix mega-hit “Elite,” playing in “On the Go” a Grindr addict with vengeance in his heart.
“On the Go” quotes consistently from “Corridas”: Both films begin with a protagonist, Jonathan in “On the Go,” dousing a nightclub with petrol and setting it on fire; both road movies’ cars have faulty petrol gauges, and are stolen; and so on. Both films also share an irrepressible sense of humor, seen in the trailer. It begins with D.J. Milagros , set on motherhood but reluctant to use an anonymous sperm donor, arriving in Seville in her father’s ’67 Corvair to persuade her gay friend Jonathan to be her sperm donor. “I want my son to inherit from his father his generosity, honesty, intelligence and joy,” she says in an intimate voice over.
Someone, however, an aged man, Tonic, the club owner, is on their trail. Jonathan has quick sex with a Grindr contact in a bathroom; Milagros’ attempt to get pregnant from a stranger she likes comes to nothing, making her all the more certain that Jonathan should be the father. But Jonathan has his own traumas of sexual abuse which need closure.
“With its blend of flamenco music and outrageous humour, ‘On the Go’ is a wild ride echoing the first films from early Almodóvar and Greg Araki,” said Quentin Worthington, MPM Premium head of sales & acquisitions.
