Here’s an official trailer for Tell Me Softly, the latest film from Culpables trilogy creator Mercedes Ron.

The Spanish-language YA feature is based on the first novel from Ron’s Tell Me novel series, which like Culpables comprises three books. It’s set to drop on Prime Video in December, two months after Ron’s final chapter of the Culpables triloy, Culpa Nuestra (Our Fault), launches in October.

Set at the fictional Carsville International School, it follows Kami (Alícia Falcó), whose carefully constructed facade is threatened by the return of the basketball-playing Di Bianco brothers Thiago (Fernando Lindez) and Taylor (Diego Vidales). “They’re back,” Kami’s friend says to her as the watch on courtside in the trailer.

Joining Falcó, Lindez and Vidales in the cast are Celia Freijeiro, Patricia Vico, Andrés Velencoso, Eve Ryan and Fernando Nagore.
