The channel also programs Un Retiro para Enamorarse (Peru, 2023), with director Jesús Alvarez Betancourt and starring Andrea Luna and Juan Carlos Torres. This comedy poses situations that occur when sometimes we feel that everything is lost, then love takes care of sending us a signal that changes our life forever. Another of the premieres this month is the film La Inocencia (Spain, 2020), a film nominated for the Goya Awards, winner of Gaudi Awards and the San Sebastián and Valladolid Festivals, directed by Lucia Alemany and starring Carmen Arrufat, Laia Marull and Sergi Lopez.

When the neighbors start to whisper about this relationship, Lis is forced to keep it a secret, so that her parents do not find out. Finally, ViendoMovies premieres El Cuaderno de Sara, a drama directed by Norberto López Amado. The film has as its main theme the exposure of the war that is currently taking place in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The nature of this conflict is based on the system of new wars in which the parties involved in it are mainly based not on political interests in the first instance, but behind there is a bid for the obtaining and exploitation of certain resources.
