Luis Tosar in También la Lluvia

Goya Award winner last year (Celda 211), Luis Tosar gets his fifth nomination having already won 3 times this award.He plays Costa, the film´s producer, who couldn´t care less about the film´s content. He´s not worried about what happened yesterday, never mind 500 years ago. He just wants the film finished on time and within budget. He has recently won the Jose Maria Forqué award, considered as the rate for the Goya Awards, and gives him a bit of advantage from the rest of nominees.The film is fighting to get the nomination for the Best Film in a Foreign Language category next 25th January.
