    This high-end drama was filmed in nine countries, over 300 locations. Award-winning actor Irene Escolar stars as Amelia Garayoa, leading an international cast of 160 actors and 3,000 extras.

     

    Showrunner and CEO of DLO Producciones José Manuel Lorenzo, “Dime Quién Soy is one of the most complex and ambitious projects that I have covered throughout my life. Over the last six years, it has gone beyond a professional obsession and become a personal one. I am excited about the idea of finally being able to share the result.”

     

    Director Eduard Cortés said,”This series is shot with authenticity and all the intensity needed to enable the viewer to greatly enjoy the adaptation of the novel by Julia Navarro.”
