El cuarto poder

Spain, 1968. An analysis of the political and social situation of the country, suffocated by the boot of General Franco's tyrannical regime. (Filmed clandestinely in Madrid and Barcelona during the spring of 1968.)

At a train station, a thief steals from a couple while the passengers are getting off the train. The boy runs after the thief and disappears. The girl, alone and lost, decides to go out into the street.

A production by the spanish Colectivo de Cine de Clase (Class Cinema Collective), which illustrates the formation of a union.

With Franco dead, workers' struggles become more visible, such as the Laforsa strike, a steel mill in Cornellà de Llobregat. Lumbreras's conviction to understand the fight as an always collective action, without hierarchies, meant that she promoted among the workers his own filming, that they had autonomy, in no case imposing any speech (Filmoteca de Catalunya).
