What’s Happening in Sant Antoni?
Filmmaker David Marqués is back in Ibiza to present his newest comedy, Making Friends. The event will take place this Friday, July 10, at the Cine Regio in Sant Antoni. It coincides with the film’s official theatrical release, so fans can be among the first to see it on the big screen.
When and Where to Go
Schedule
- 6:30 p.m. – Arrival, photocall and red carpet
- Presentation and screening of Making Friends
- After‑film discussion (optional)
The timing was chosen with the Spain‑Portugal match in mind. Depending on the result, the organizers wanted to make sure attendees could still catch the quarterfinal game against Belgium, which kicks off at 9 p.m.
Who’s on the Red Carpet?
Director David Marqués will be joined by two of his favorite actors:
- Antonio Resines – plays one of the thieves
- Quim Gutiérrez – plays the other thief
Actress Megan Montaner also stars, portraying the instructor of a theater group made up of people with disabilities. Marqués notes that Resines, a big football fan, will likely be the first to dash off to watch the Spain’s kickoff.
What’s the Story About?
The plot kicks off when two thieves, played by Resines and Gutiérrez, rob a jewelry store and try to flee. In their escape they encounter Megan Montaner’s character, who mistakes one of them for a new member of her disability‑theater troupe. The thieves jump on the troupe’s bus, thinking it’s a quick getaway, but soon discover that the ride will lead to unexpected friendships and funny situations.
Marqués describes the film as “one hundred percent comedy” with moments that tug at the heart. While some might compare it to Campeones, he stresses that Making Friends focuses more on personal relationships than on disability and integration.
Reactions from the Madrid Preview
The film had its first preview on July 4 at the Proyecciones cinemas in Madrid. According to Marqués, the audience loved it:
“People came out very happy and excited. We spent more than an hour talking to them after the screening.”
The positive feedback has boosted excitement for the Ibiza premiere.
How to Catch the Film If You Miss the Premiere
If you can’t make it to the Cine Regio on July 10, don’t worry. Making Friends will stay in theaters at the same venue from Saturday, July 11 through Thursday, July 16. There will be two daily showings:
- 6:00 p.m.
- 8:30 p.m.
Marqués encourages everyone to be punctual so there’s plenty of time for the movie, the post‑screening chat, and still making it to the Belgium match at 9 p.m.
Why You Should Go
Marqués promises a fun, feel‑good experience:
“They will have a fun time, leave the cinema with a smile and feeling better.”
The blend of laughs, heartfelt moments, and a chance to see beloved Spanish actors makes this a perfect outing for teens looking for a light‑hearted night out.
Conclusion
David Marqués’s Making Friends arrives in Sant Antoni with a star‑studded cast, a lively premiere event, and a schedule designed to let fans enjoy both the film and the Spain‑Belgium quarterfinal. Whether you attend the opening night on July 10 or catch it later in the week, the comedy promises laughter, warmth, and a feel‑good vibe that’s perfect for a summer evening.
