La Máquina showrunner Marco Ramírez talks in this interview about working alongside Mexican actors Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna in the Hulu´s drama series.
The six-episode series La Máquina follows Esteban Osuna (Gael García Bernal), a boxer on the downswing of his career whose manager and Botox addicted best friend, Andy Lujan (Diego Luna), is trying to make a star again.
But Andy’s own dealings with the criminal underworld pull Esteban and his ex-wife Irasema (Eiza González) into a dark side of boxing that neither wants to be involved in.
Even though Esteban knows the boxing rematch has potentially dangerous consequences, the aging Mexican fighter wants to go ahead with the fight at a time when accumulated neurological trauma is making it harder for him to determine what is real.
Lucía Méndez, Jorge Perugorría, Andrés Delgado, Karina Gidi and Dariam Coco also star in La Máquina.
