Blanca Soroa (A Coruña, 2008) presented herself at casting de Los Domingos (Alauda Ruiz de Azúa, 2025), one of the cinematographic phenomena of the year without knowing what it was. The team from casting Trained by Eva Leira and Yolanda Serrano, she had her first interview at school where she said “because I don’t lose class”. He thought he would be an extra and took the weight of the entire film.
There was never one left file on the road, but his debut was so stormy that he went from the Bachillerato studio to the cast of the door, the red shadows and the nomination for the best actress of the revelation at the Goya Awards, which will take place this Saturday, February 28, in Barcelona.
On paper, el de Ainara, a teenager who announces to her family that she wants to be a nun, has one of the greatest revelations of this matter in Spanish cinema, and promise to do it with the galardon. In this category, Soroa will tend to meditate with Nora Hernández (Dinner), Elvira Lara (Tortuga moose), Llúcia Garcia (Romeria) and Miriam Garlo (Deaf).
With all of them, Soroa shared the film academy’s annual series of nominations and best actress and acting unveilings, where she graciously recorded the first castings in which the interpretation was still a game for her.
Born in Galicia, she spent her childhood in A Coruña before moving to the Vasco country about once a year. With the idea of studying medicine in mind, you never plan to implement if possible salida.
However, Alauda Ruiz de Azúa, who went to the dorms in Bilbao with unknown chicas and without previous experience to Ainara, I will clarify as we go.
Company director Cinco lobitos (2022) and the series Querer (2025) included various interviews that made Soroy “something special” from the first moment, but I wanted to make sure I could keep the weight of the character, very complete for a debutante; Thank you for the large and multiple castings (if you are) for those who want to be an 18 year old actress.
To prepare the paper, I spent weeks talking to monjas, reading testimonials on the internet and talk to Ruiz de Azúa about how today’s teenager might make that decision. Also work from a multi-sensory level, par Create the intangible experience that is life on screen.

At the Film Academy, Soroa defined the rest of the list – made up of Patricia López Arnaiz, Miguel Garcés and Nagore Aramburu – as his “best teachers”, and how can I thank you adapt to the family that suits you.
The film’s director told El Cultural in an interview that it was “the biggest film he’s ever made”. López Arnaiz, also nominated by Goya for best actress in a leading role, embodies Maite, an atheist who intends to take the place of her absent mother, while she tries with great interest to dismantle her sister’s religious vocation.
Garcés from life to Iñaki, the father I live exhausted, who wants to do things well, but to whom Ainara accompanies other emotional tasks. While Aranburu, nominated as the best actress of the department, portraying the mother of the prioress, who represents the authority of the monastery, but offers the main heroine a spiritual refuge that contrasts with the misunderstanding of his family environment.
I want you to imagine the absence of your mother in the film and the fight over her death, when in real life they maintain a very close relationship. I also thought it happened with the girl in the movie, the story that Blanca wanted to build cases from now on because she didn’t have the experience of having to live with her own girl as a teenager.
In return, it cost her less to go on stage with the monjas, including the mother prior, played by Nagore Aranburu. The works of thoughts and games designed by Alauda Ruiz de Azúa signaled the actress, allowing her to enter this closed world of the convent until she was completely safe.
Winner of the Golden Bowl in San Sebastian in 2025 and a big favorite of the Noci Goyas — with 13 nominations —, Los Domingos has become one of those rare instances where a film goes beyond the poster to establish itself in the public conversation.
The premiere of the film, which also featured Alauda Ruiz de Azúa, exploded one of the biggest cultural debates of 2025. Some people have seen the film as a sign of the rise of religion among new generations, and some see it as a reflection of the intransigence of a certain militant secularism.
That many believers saw it as completely alien to the church, and that some people celebrate it as the opposite of talking about God, while others talk about a horror movie about faith, does nothing more to support the idea that it works the way it does. an unpleasant experience of the polarization of Spanish society
