Mallorca Showcases Its Audiovisual Potential Through New Film
A Celebration of Culture and Heritage
On December 30, 2025, Mallorca further solidifies its status as a leading destination for audiovisual projects with the unveiling of a new feature film that captures the essence of its UNESCO World Heritage landscape. Titled “Sacar Pecho,” this documentary is not merely a showcase of stunning visuals but also a heartfelt exploration of health and empowerment, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Serra de Tramuntana.
The Serra de Tramuntana: A Cinematic Gem
The Tramuntana region is famed for its rich history, striking dry-stone architecture, traditional mountain villages, and spectacular Mediterranean panoramas. This unique landscape serves as much more than a backdrop; it plays a crucial role in the narrative of “Sacar Pecho.” The film follows a transformative journey from Pollença to Andratx, encapsulating the physical and emotional experiences of its subjects.
The filmmakers have crafted a path through this majestic region that mirrors the journeys of the individuals featured in the film, making the landscape an integral part of their stories.
A Powerful Narrative of Resilience
At the heart of “Sacar Pecho” are the narratives of eight courageous women—Ana, MariPau, Joana, Bel, Mar, Eva, Sheriline, and Leire—each grappling with a breast cancer diagnosis. The documentary portrays their journeys from the shock of diagnosis through personal growth and healing. The film emphasizes the strength of community, highlighting how mutual support can act as a form of “collective medicine.”
By sharing their experiences, these women offer viewers not only inspiration but also a deeper understanding of the emotional and physical hurdles associated with breast cancer.
Expert Guidance and Community Involvement
The documentary is a product of thoughtful collaboration, spearheaded by journalists Mar Comín, Mar Puigserver, and Virginia Galiano. Renowned filmmakers Rubén Capilla and Álex Rodríguez—well respected within Mallorca’s audiovisual scene—have directed the project. The film’s medical perspectives are informed by leading professionals in oncology, including Antònia Perelló, Valerio Corazza, and Mònica Martí. This medical oversight ensures both accuracy and emotional resonance throughout the film.
In addition, the SOLTI Foundation, known for its contributions to clinical cancer research in Spain, is involved in the project, adding another layer of credibility and commitment to both scientific outreach and social impact.
A Therapeutic Approach to Filmmaking
“Sacar Pecho” is designed not just as a documentary but as a positive therapeutic tool for viewers and participants alike. Its goal is to enhance Mallorca’s reputation as a hub for culturally significant and internationally recognized film projects.
The film has already made waves by being officially submitted for the Goya Awards in the categories of Best Documentary Film and Best Original Song, along with consideration for the Forqué Awards. This recognition exemplifies its potential to resonate both locally and globally.
Conclusion
With “Sacar Pecho,” Mallorca is not only showcasing its stunning landscapes but also using its cultural resources to shine a light on significant health topics. The project highlights the island’s dual role as a picturesque filming location and a facilitator of meaningful dialogue around personal health experiences. As it moves toward awards consideration, the film promises to make a lasting impact on audiences worldwide, reaffirming Mallorca’s position in the global audiovisual landscape.
