A couple in one of the greatest romances in recent years but separated in a long distance . It deals with two people in love , Alex (Natalia Tena) and Sergi (David Verdaguer) ; two flats - one in Barcelona and another on in L.A. - and the frames of their past , present and future . One year apart , with a continent between them , this couple must rely on modern technology to keep their relationship alive . The story tracks the two as they cling to their relationship by video chats , phone calls and email . This laptop-set story deals with a special romance in which video cameras capture everything , and the internet has turned into a cesspool of surveillance and communication . Can love survive 10,000km? .
"10.000 Km" follows the story of two young lovers , well portrayed by "Game of Thrones" and Harry Potter player Natalia Tena and David Verdaguer , as she leaves Barcelona for a year-long work opportunity in Los Angeles . This is a well-crafted and strikingly intimate film though monotonous about a separated couple in a long distance , as when you are oceans apart in love , you have to find creative ways to connect . We immediately see that the story is going to be told from some unorthodox perspectives as many scenes are broadcasting through a computer monitor . Despite its low budget the picture manages to be intelligent , but also a little bit boring and hard to follow . The good thing about this film is that the director made it on a limited budget only having to do a few sets , yet the movie works on many levels but is constantly reconfigured . This film had U.S. theatrical release , bowing it in the U.S. on 13 screens in 13 cities and was even presented to international distributors in Cannes . Carlos Marques-Marcet's long-distance love story "10,000 Km," relies heavily on moving romance supported by technological means such as e-mail , Google Earth , Skype , Facebook and WhatsApp . As the flick is set in just two places in Sergi's Barcelona flat and Alex's LA apartment . As Alex/Natalia Tena shows from her computer : photographs , streets , avenues and Hollywood boulevard . The main question results to be : Just how interconnected can one couple be while living oceans apart ? . The final result is an offbeat love story that's captivating , in spite of not being all that fun or especially thoughtful , neither thought-provoking . Interpretation by two actors is frankly good , David Verdaguer and Natalia Tena give reality their roles , the latter replaced Bárbara Lennie unavailable due to prior commitments . Tena and Verdaguer won the acting duo award at South by Southwest following the film's world premiere for their performances as a couple separated by 10,000 kilometers .
The movie , a Lastor Media Production in co-production with La Panda, was shot in Barcelona . Carlos Marques-Marcet directed from a script he co-wrote with Clara Roquet . The motion picture was innovative and originally directed by Carlos Marques-Marcet , even Broad Green Pictures acquired U.S. distribution and international sales rights from Visit Films for this love story "10.000 Km" . Here Carlos Marques adapts to the times and find a particular romance in the ways people are living today .
