Flores en la basura

2019 · 64 min · Documentary

Filmed over the course of 2013 to 2019, it is a photograph of the scars left by the Great Recession in Spain. Who are the losers of this crisis? Young people, women, workers between 35 and 45 who will never again be what they trained to be, those over 45 who have lost their jobs, retirees who see their purchasing power shrink, the “emotional proletariat”… and this film is about them.

La Cola

La Cola · 2022

The queue is a visual poem. A reflection of this society, increasingly lacking in solidarity. It can be the unemployment line, the hunger line, the line of the sick, the retired, women, migrants. We are all standing before that door, always closed to those who have nothing and wait in vain for the Leviathan that is the State to let them in and become part of a society that casts them aside like outcasts.
