“Wild Spain. A Tale of Two Brothers” depicts the remarkable connection of two brothers and wildlife filmmakers with Spanish nature, through spectacular images of the social life of dolphins, whales, or jellyfish in the Mediterranean Sea, and vulnerable species such as the bearded vulture in the Pyrenees. The documentary showcases how aquatic mammals survive in icy rivers during the winter, as well as featuring footage of never-before filmed behaviour like the reproduction of the Pelagia Noctiluca jellyfish, and the social behaviour of Salupa fish.
Sergi and Jordi Escandell manage to tell a different story, where scientific rigor is combined with their experiences and emotional connection with the animals they film; from the depths of the Mediterranean to the highest mountains, in a journey that passes through the Pyrenees, Gallocanta, Navarre, the Balearic Islands, and Andalusia. We encounter animals who do not know why the world is changing around them so rapidly. Animals who also live in societies, take care of their families, think, and feel emotions as our two filmmakers do. Over 52 minutes, the spectator follows the singular journey that the two filmmakers make through the Spanish territory in search of the most untamed nature, and with the firm intention of capturing the very essence of the wildlife of this country. Spain is one of the European countries with the greatest biodiversity of fauna and flora. It has 85,000 species of flora and fauna, and inhabits more than 50% of European animal species. On their journey, they enter the pristine forests of Navarre and the silent steppes of La Rioja, follow the flow of the Andalusian rivers, climb the peaks of the Pyrenees, sail the coast of the Balearic Islands, and dive deep into the waters of the Alboran, the Mediterranean, and the Cantabrian Seas. This documentary is an intimate story of the emotions the two cameramen experience living with the animals of this wilderness, while they are simultaneously explaining the behavior of the animals to the viewer. The aerial combats of the bearded vultures, the games of the otters, the social life of the pilot whales, the oasis effect of the loggerhead turtle, the hard winter of the fox, the hunting technique of the jellyfish, the journeys of the migratory birds or the return of the beaver, are just some of the wild stories shown in this documentary.
