There was a time when Fernando Trueba confessed that Billy Wilder was God. But in post-classic Hollywood, that deity began to take on a corporeal form as quixotic as it was transgressive. Infinity of stars would have broken Dorian Gray's mirror in order to have penetrated the domains of the divine Almodóvar supported by pillars of irony, marginality, emotional deficiencies and colors as strident as his subliminal language. Every time he was asked when he was going to shoot in English, the manchego was cautious. Neither Jane Fonda nor Meryl Streep succeeded. Almodóvar's universe was written in the language of Cervantes. But two days ago, everything changed. The director has started shooting a short film with a single foreign actress, but not just any, but with one of the most elegant, androgynous and ingenious figures of the last decades. Tilda Swinton has made history. The British - although she considers herself Scottish - began recording the monologue La voz humana, by Jean Cocteau, in a new Almodovarian version three days ago in Madrid. In fact, the filmmaker has changed all of the original text that focused on a woman's suffering when her partner leaves her on the phone. From the beginning, Tilda has collaborated in the development of the script, so the chemistry with the director has been excellent. This is what Almodóvar says: "Tilda is as open and intelligent as she had dreamed. During the rehearsals we understood each other perfectly." Filming was due to start in April, but Covid prevented it. This Cocteau piece, which also has its operatic version, was also the source of inspiration for the two-time Oscar winner during the filming of The Law of Desire (1987) and Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (1988). In both productions, Carmen Maura was the sufferer. In the past, great scene divas such as Anna Magnani, Ingrid Bergman or Simone Signoret also starred in film and theater in the book written by the French author in 1930. As soon as his first experience in Shakespeare's vernacular is over, Almodóvar will begin filming Parallel Mothers with Penélope Cruz as the protagonist. And then he will put in pictures five of the 43 stories from the book Manual for cleaning women by Lucia Berlin, which will shoot in English. Who the foreign interpreters will be has not yet been released, but there is already a queue. The Oscar-winning actress for Michael Clayton (2007) has a life as original as the scripts of her new film boss. She grew up in Kimmerghame House, a 19th-century mansion located in southern Scotland owned by her father, General Sir John Swinton, who died two years ago. In private, for a season she enjoyed a ménage à trois with the Scottish playwright John Byrne, two decades older, with whom she had her twins Honor and Xavier in 1997, while she was (and still is) in love with the visual artist. German Sandro Kopp, 17 years younger. Currently, she is only with the painter. Somehow the balance had to be balanced.

The Generalitat de Catalunya has decided to tighten the restrictive measures to try to contain the coronavirus outbreak affecting the region of the Sery and, from this midnight, will impose a confinement close to that governed by the state of alarm in the city of Lleida and in seven other locations in the area -Alcarrs, Serós, Soses, Aitona, La Granja d'Escarp , Massalcoreig, Torres de Segre and the decentralized municipal units of Sucs and Raimat-, so that citizens should not leave their homes except for essential activities. https://www.rtve.es/alacarta/videos/noticias-24-horas/generalita-confina-lleida-comarca-segria/5623237/ The new measures, which have been announced by the Ministry of Health, Alba Vergés, and the Conseller de Interior, Miquel Buch, include a ban on entering or leaving these municipalities, closing the hotel and catering establishments to the public, which can only serve "home delivery" products, and the prohibition of meetings "of more than ten people". Vergés has explained that the po[CENSORED]tion must stay at home and go out alone to go to work, provided not when telework is not possible, and make necessities. The food stores will remain open, while in other shops the appointment will be necessary; Summer activity centres for children and young people will also remain open Although the region of Segrio was already confined parimetrally since july 4, like five other counties in Aragon and another in Lugo, the eight affected po[CENSORED]tions will be, with the new restrictions imposed, the first in Spain to almost completely unsused the path of the descalada since the alarm state was raised. "The situation is one of the most complex in the whole country, now it depends on the people", acknowledged the consellera, when announcing the measures.

The director of the Center for the Coordination of Health Alerts and Emergencies (CCAES), Fernando Simón, has pointed out that Spanish hospitals are detecting that patients who are now infected with COVID-19 present "milder" symptoms than those who did it in the worst moments of the pandemic, although he has pointed out that there are still no solid studies that demonstrate this extreme. At a press conference after the Coronavirus Technical Management Committee, the epidemiologist explained that there are doctors in Spain who "are raising this possibility." He also recalled that the case fatality rate is "much lower than a few weeks ago", since it now stands at around 2%, while in the worst stages of the pandemic this figure rose to around 11%. In addition, he pointed out that there is less overload in hospitals and that vulnerable groups "are more protected." "But even in older people, milder pictures are being detected," he celebrated. Seroprevalence tests Regarding the seroprevalence tests of COVID-19 in all the po[CENSORED]tion that some municipalities are planning, such as Torrejón de Ardoz, he has stated that these massive tests are not accurate to know what has happened in a territory. "We have statistical tools that allow us to make samples, it is not necessary to test the entire po[CENSORED]tion to know the level of disease index in the po[CENSORED]tion," he added. At this point, he recalled that the results of the seroprevalence study carried out by the Carlos III Health Institute (ISCIII) "are applicable to each province." "But if any community wants to have more detailed data by municipality or other territorial division, it does not seem bad to me that they do so, but it does not make sense that they test the entire po[CENSORED]tion. That they do not waste unnecessary resources if the objective is to know what has happened "he has criticized.
