A virus that makes infected people say and do things. A contagious chain of clumsiness, a woman who relates in a pathological way to objects in the city, and a man who spies on his father on the streets: three funny stories about love, faith, and will.
If there’s one element that connects the cinema of Juan Cavestany, Julián Génisson, and Pablo Hernando that is their fondness with lifting up the cities they depict in their films through unpopulated, semi-deserted spaces, places where there’s always an unfinished project to build something. Service areas, wastelands, junk yards, roundabouts, and the world –beyond its own intimate conflicts– didn’t seem to exist around the characters in People in Places, Berserker or La tumba de Bruce Lee. Now, these three wizards of Iberian vitriol gather in a collective –yet not episodic– film, which confirms that –for decades now– the most realistic portrait of Spanish reality is that one featuring an alienating feel, impossible angles, and the sound of tinnitus across the screen.
