Fan-favorite leading ladies Alison Sweeney (Hannah Swensen Mysteries, The Wedding Veil Movies) and Ashley Williams (Notes of Autumn, Falling Together) are teaming up both in front of and behind the camera for not one, but two new original movies.
To Barcelona, With Love premieres Saturday, June 7 at 8/7c, and To Barcelona, Forever premieres Saturday, June 14 at 8/7c, launching this year’s Passport to Love event which whisks viewers away to Spain’s romantic streets and charming villages!
In To Barcelona, With Love, Sweeney plays Erica, an American expat living in Barcelona who translates novels into Spanish, though her dream is to be published herself someday. Anna (Williams) is the American author of the book Barcelona, Mi Amor that became a big hit after Erica’s translation. Due to its local popularity, Anna comes to Barcelona for a book signing event. Her arrival not only catches the attention of local bookstore owner Nico - played by Alejandro Tous (The Longest Night) - for whom Erica has long had feelings, Anna’s appearance at the store threatens to bring to light Erica’s secret – she took liberties with her translation to improve the story and infuse it with the local authenticity it was missing. As the two women become friends over the course of Anna’s visit, they ultimately help each other embark on a path to find their true happiness.
To Barcelona, Forever begins five months later and follows Erica and Anna as they are happily navigating new chapters in their lives. This time the friends find themselves traveling outside the city of Barcelona to a charming village where a misunderstanding leads to unexpected romance for one of them.
