The film *Els de Sau*, directed by Elisabet Terri, completed principal photography last November and has entered post-production, with a focus on editing. The project chronicles the story of the legendary Catalan band led by Carles Sabater, using locations in Catalonia and Andorra, where the group had strong historical ties.
Production highlighted the venture's economic impact on Andorra as a "significant investment" in the country. The one-week shoot there included Coll de la Botella, the Derby pub in Arinsal, and Prat del Roure, where the team built a set mimicking a Radio and Television of Andorra (RTVA) studio. Additional scenes were filmed at the Hong Kong Chinese restaurant in Escaldes-Engordany.
Terri noted to ANA that many Andorran professionals worked on the production, with locals featuring in scenes beyond Principality locations, including those in Barcelona and Osona. Key sequences recreate live concerts, shot with two cameras to capture pivotal moments like the band's iconic performance at Barcelona's Plaça de Toros Monumental, their final show in Vilafranca del Penedès, and other live highlights.
The director expressed strong approval of the cast, particularly the leads: Guim Puig as Carles Sabater, Pol Monen as Pep Sala, and Guillermo Lasheras as Joan Capdevila. She stated she was "very satisfied with all the actors in the film."
A co-production of Imminent Produccions and Arlong Productions, the film is now advancing through post-production stages, including colour grading, sound design, and syncing the band's music to the narrative. Terri said a release could arrive in the coming months.
