Vix Begins Production On 7 Original Titles Including Sofia Vergara Animated Series & Benicio Del Toro-Produced Film

EXCLUSIVE: Vix has begun production on 7 new original titles during the second quarter of the year including 6 series and one film. They include the Sofia Vergara-led Koati: Animated Series and the Benicio del Toro-produced film Matar Al Jockey (Kill The Jockey).

“With these 7 new productions we continue to increase our original content offerings on Vix, with stories that appeal to the diverse tastes of our audiences,” said Rodrigo Mazón, Chief Content Officer ViX for TelevisaUnivision, in a statement. “Since the launch, we have been working on a path of constant development and production that we know today strongly reflects and resonates with the audience’s preferences and generates great successes in our service,” he added.

Matar Al Jockey (Kill The Jockey) follows Remo Manfredini, a legend in the world of turf racing whose self-destructive behavior overshadows his great talent. Abril, an up-and-coming jockey, is pregnant by Remo and is faced with having to decide between having his child or continuing to race. They both race for Sirena, an important businessman who saved Remo’s life in the past and is obsessed with the jockey.

According to the logline, One day Remo causes a big accident, disappears from the hospital and wanders the streets. Abril and Sirena go in search of him, but by the time they find him Remo has transformed into a very different person.

The cast includes Nahuel Pérez Biscayart, Úrsula Corberó and Daniel Giménez Cacho; with Daniel Fanego, Osmar Nuñez, Luis Ziembrowski, Roberto Carnaghi, Adriana Aguirre and Roly Serrano; with special participation of Mariana Di Girólamo. Executive producers also include Nando Vila, Delfina Montecchia, Federico Frágola and Martín Fisner.

I've seen the film today.
I see Remo as a

[Show spoiler]rather aimless male reproductive cell in the shape of a man in a human world, who nevertheless wins the race at the end and returns as a baby girl whose parents are a lesbian couple. Him being a (horse) racer and the bandage he's wearing on the head for a bigger part of the film reinforce my believe he's supposed to represent a male reproductive cell, deciding the baby it'll make should be a girl.

But this film is so full of other symbolism I don't understand, while the rest I understood isn't really my cup of tea.
