Claudia Estrada Tarascó's debut feature, 'Salen las lobas' ('The Bitch Pack'), is set to premiere at the Valladolid Film Festival on October 25, 2026. The film tells the story of Luna, a defiant teenager sent to a juvenile detention center. There, she cultivates deep friendships with three other inmates, and they collectively envision participating in a Barcelona trap music competition.
This European co-production draws inspiration from the filmmaker Valeria Estrada Tarascó's personal history. She spent four years researching the lives of girls in juvenile justice facilities. Valeria herself portrays Luna, leading a cast that includes other nonprofessional performers, some with lived experiences mirroring the narrative.
Original songs, written and performed by the film's protagonists, are integral to the story, showcasing music as a tool for resilience. The ensemble features rap artist Huda, along with Vanessa Aisha Badji and Sara Martínez, complemented by established actors Rosa Boladeras and Alex Brendemühl. The film will be released in Spain on December 11, 2026.
