Twelve people, four countries, one murder
At the headquarters of the European Parliament, a conspiracy is brewing that threatens to bring down the foundations of old Europe.
As the European Union prepares to pass a law that will change everything, Ana, one of the interpreters, crashes onto the pavement from the eleventh floor. Some say it could be suicide, but it is clearly murder, and the lives of five Parliament collaborators are about to change: Bruno, a Swiss lobbyist; Eva, a junior Spanish lobbyist; Niklas, a Swedish head of Parliament security; and Bettina, a German chief interpreter. Each of them has a past. Each of them has a weakness.
Among secrets, forbidden alliances, passionate affairs, blackmail, and moral dilemmas, The Crossover stands as a political thriller immersed in the contemporary context, tackling issues such as globalization, immigration, class divide, information control, and corruption.
As in any ecosystem, the protagonists of The Crossover know that survival doesn’t belong to the strongest but to those who best adapt, and all of them are ready to wear their most convincing masks.
KEY DETAILS: The Crossover takes us inside the European Parliament—not to show what we see on TV about its podiums but to reveal its corridors, its bathrooms, the behind-the-scenes, and the weekends of these suit-clad individuals who seem untouchable. In The Crossover, the Parliament becomes a living example of the Tower of Babel, putting to the test whether humanity can truly speak a common language.
The story stands out for its international appeal, making it perfect for co-production. Moreover, it reinvents the whodunit genre and is ideal for political thriller enthusiasts, such as those who enjoyed Succession, House of Cards, or Borgen.
The Crossover is led by two of the best screenwriters from their respective countries.
Curro Royo is one of Spain’s most relevant and successful screenwriters, with major works including hit TV series such as Like Water for Chocolate, Cuéntame cómo pasó, Desaparecidos, El Cid, The Adventures of Captain Alatriste, and Hernán.
On the other hand, Vinicio Canton is an Italian screenwriter who has written numerous scripts for TV series and films, such as They Talk, Il restauratore, A casa di Irma, Non lo sappiamo ancora, and Amore strappato. Some of his projects have been released on Mediaset and RAI channels.
