Rodrigo Plá, known for socially charged films like “The Zone,” takes a bold new turn with “The Newcomers” — his first movie for kids, starring Mateo, a young narrator who leads a trio on an urgent quest to uncover pollution plaguing their village. Inspired by his wife Laura Santullo’s book and told through a child’s vivid perspective, it marks Plá’s most personal and youthful project yet. Already picked up by Patra Spanou Film for global distribution, the film is just the start — with three more wildly different projects (a musical, dystopian drama, and black-comedy thriller) already in the works.
