Biography
Born in 1935 into a family of set designers and painters, Tedy Villalba inherited his name from his father and his grandfather, and passed it on to his son and his eldest grandson; there are five generations of "Tedy Villalbas" in Spanish cinema. Although he began in the family tradition of painting and design with his elders, Tedy Villalba made his own mark in production, gradually working his way up the ranks from Production Assistant to Executive Producer, working with Orson Wells, Manuel Mur Oti, King Vidor, Nicholas Ray, David Lean, Stanley Kramer, Henry Hathaway, John Huston, Robert Rossen, Anthony Mann, Stanley Kubrik, Joshua Logan, Lawrence Olivier, Peter Collison and Pedro Almodovar.

During a long summer, the tranquility of a couple and their three children resting in a country house is altered with the arrival of the children's uncle, a character who exerts a curious influence on the boys and a morbid and strange attraction the wife. Twelve years after 'Los viajes escolares' (1973), his first commercial feature film, the Madrid director Jaime Chávarri returns to the same estate in the province of Segovia to shoot a new family story, about his own plot and script. Like its predecessor, 'The Golden River' contains a strong autobiographical charge and is full of personal resonances. But this new history of family ties is narrated from a perspective in which adultery manifests itself openly. Endowed with a slow narrative rhythm, the film presents an international cast headed by Ángela Molina, Bruno Ganz, Francesca Annis and Stefan Gubser. The film also has the presence of a very young Juan Diego Botto, in one of his first appearances on the big screen.
