MADRID — “Dry Water” starts with a steadily advancing aerial shot of Lisbon, then its iconic squares, next cuts to stables used to fence firearms, then to Teresa, as she mounts her motorbike to pick up younger brother Paulo, whom she dotes on, at Lisbon’s extraordinarily modern central railway station.
Mostly unspooling in Vigo, in geographic terms, “Dry Water” lies off the beaten track, a virtue Spanish producer Portocabo, based in Galicia’s A Coruña, exploited to spectacular results in prior crime thriller “Hierro,” set on the Canary Island of that name, which launched in June as Movistar+’s 15th Original Series to become its most-watched ever over its first 80 days of release.
“Hierro” was made for a pay TV platform, Spain’s Movistar+, and a very upscale broadcaster, France’s Arte. “Dry Water” is made for two public broadcasters,Galicia’s TVG and Portugal’s RTP. Did that mean a change of register? It was clearly sought after. It allows us to continue along the lines of what we’d begun in “Vidago Palace”: Making a co-production between Spain and Portugal and finding elements for a crime drama that were new and compelling to the audience. So “Dry Water” ”is set around a port, a city like Vigo, where everything revolves around the sea, and arms trafficking wasn’t something that had necessarily been dealt with.
That’s exactly what we set out to do. We set out to take classic free-to-air TV fiction to a new level, and not fall short of the expectations of our two main clients. The work with both channels was always finding that balance and saying “O.K., we embrace your idea, but we’re going to take it a step further,” driving for strove a type of product that moved closer towards that realm of premium TV, which is, as far as I’m concerned, where fiction is heading at present.Yes, no studio sound.
