Penélope Cruz graces Spanish Elle’s 80th anniversary cover. She discusses upcoming projects like the musical drama *La bola negra*, based on an unfinished story by Federico García Lorca and Alberto Conejero’s *La piedra oscura*. She’s also been directing and producing a personal documentary for four years: “Directing is my passion, what I’ve dreamed of since sixteen. I can’t share details yet, but I can’t wait for it to be seen.” Penélope brought her toy poodle, Thor, to the shoot 🤍 — a reflection of her values: “By my age, I still feel genuinely happy about having a home and food, without taking it for granted. We weren’t in need, but I’ve seen how hard it is for others. Just look at the world today. It’s not about how much you have—it’s about your values.” Photography by Xavi Gordo.
