Born in 1966, Achero Mañas first followed in the steps of his mother,
actress Paloma Lorena (who played in two
of his films), but he soon turned from thespian to film director. He
made three shorts before meeting with success - both public and
critical - with El bola (2000), the
sensitive portrait of a pair of big city kids, reminiscent of
François Truffaut's
Les Quatre Cents Coups (1959).
His second feature Noviembre (2003)
also garnered least five awards but he was less successful with
Blackwhite (2004). After five years in
the wilderness, Mañas is making a come back with
Todo lo que tú quieras (2010).
