An Internal Affair

In an indeterminate time and place, Antoni Bauer, a young man about to get married, is preparing his doctoral thesis on a major embezzlement. During the investigation of that event, he will discover that Helena, his fiancée, was involved. Hidden gem of the fantastic Catalan that freely adapts the worlds of Kafka and Poe.

In the late nineteenth century a fact shocked the Catalan society: The anarchist Santiago Salvador threw a bomb into the pit of the Gran Teatre del Liceu, resulting in twenty deaths. More than a century later, 'The Liceu bomb' is a reflection on those events, with the collaboration of various testimonies, as novelist Eduardo Mendoza or Permanyer Lluis historian, among others. Anarchism, Modernism, public executions and the nineteenth-century bourgeoisie shake hands with historical memory and claims anti-Barcelona, always with the Lyceum Theatre as a space for a confrontation that today still remains.

Chronicle of the life of Manuel Delgado Villegas, 'The Arropiero', the greatest mass murderer in the history of Spain. Erratic vagabond living selling his blood, forty-eight confessed crimes, but police could investigate only twenty of them and prove his involvement in seven, some committed in France and Italy. Justice, police and psychiatrists, unable to digest this level of animality, decide intern for life and marginalize with his summary. Reduced to plant, died in 1998, and even today still alive many unknowns about his life.
