The municipality of San Cristóbal de La Laguna, in Tenerife, has become the main setting for 'The Last Seder' this summer, an international film production directed by Natalie Bailey. The filming, which will extend until mid-September, has led to the implementation of various traffic restrictions on several streets.

The presence of the film, scripted by Jason Venokur, has been officially confirmed by the La Laguna City Council. A municipal ordinance details the traffic alterations planned between July 27 and September 14, 2026, affecting streets such as Joaquín Turina, Quintín Benito, San Agustín, Camino Mesa Mota, Anchieta, Avenida San Diego, and Camino Fuente Cañizares, as well as areas near the Faculty of Fine Arts.
The plot of 'The Last Seder' centers on Moshe Loewenstein, a university student returning home for Passover. During his university years, he adopts the name Mark, seeking an identity separate from his family's expectations. The family reunion is disrupted by the intrusion of a disgruntled employee of his father and his accomplices, triggering a plot involving an ancient relic of mythical significance. The film blends elements of family tension, comedy, horror, and supernatural events.
The agency representing Natalie Bailey describes 'The Last Seder' as a horror-comedy, marking the director's second feature film. The measures adopted by the council highlight the scale of the production in the locality.
Traffic restrictions continue into September. From September 1 to 7, parking is prohibited on Calle Radioaficionados, near the Faculty of Fine Arts, except for authorized production vehicles. Additionally, parking will be affected on Camino Fuente Cañizares, next to the football stadium annex, between September 8 and 9, with intermittent traffic cuts planned.
The City Council has extended measures on Camino San Diego, between Paseo Oramas and Camino Fuente Cañizares. This section will experience total traffic closures from September 8 to 11, between 6:00 PM and 5:00 AM, excluding production vehicles. The council warns that schedules may be modified based on traffic conditions, filming progress, or safety reasons.
