There are characters on TV that sometimes do not quite enter you. That used to happen to me before with Toni from Cuéntame. Until one day I went to the theater and there it was Pablo rivero. In order not to lie, I will say that I do not remember the play but that was the turning point for Toni’s character to soak up the truth as Pablo’s actor. And that can only mean that on the tables he beat me, he convinced me, he retaliated for nonsense prejudices.
In that play, before the action itself began, the characters moved around the scene as if improvising sottovoce conversations or wandering around without any specific task; waiting for themselves in the anteroom of their own work; like who waits at the dentist to be called.

Between the actor and the writer, Pablo moves with that solidity of one who does things out of devotion, transmitting to his characters in flesh and blood or on paper the most disturbing verisimilitude, the one that finds empathy in the face of the strangeness of his thrillers.

I will never be afraid again
La Pablo Rivero's first film he immerses himself in the crime novel genre with absolute depth. At book I will not be afraid again, the well-known actor goes back to 1994 to make us live a «domestic thriller», as I usually call these cases in which family nuclei become the sustenance for lurid plots full of mystery, fear and uncertainty.
There is some macabre voyeurism in the stories told from front to back (the famous flashback). And I say macabre, in this case, because from the initial approach we will have to discover what happened in a family for the violent and fatal outcome with which we opened the book.
April 9th 1994 it will become the date on which everything comes together. Before that day, for a week, we will get to know Laura, a mother abandoned by her husband. Raúl, the eldest son, with his inner world invaded by dark contradictions. Mario, the little one, who longs for his father's return with all his might.
Parallel to the knowledge of the psyche of these characters, whose souls we want to unravel to understand what happened that April 9, we discover aspects external to the family that complement the story and that raise new doubts. Jonathan García, a boy from the neighborhood disappeared the previous year and someone close to the family may hide what happened to that boy. Chapters as scenarios where to squeeze all the details to try to reach some light before evil reaches the lives of this family. The title of the novel is not whimsically fixed. "I will not be afraid again" is much more than it seems.
