The film portrays a night shift of the last fishing community that uses the Art of Xávega, a traditional type of fishing that has barely evolved over the centuries, disappeared on the Spanish coast and in process of extinction in Portugal. At the same time, under the huge cliff and a few meters from the sea, other bodies roam the terrain in search of occasional sexual encounters.

MovieDocumentary
The film trilogy "Tetuan, Tetuán, Tetwan" deals with the traces that the colonial past in Morocco has left in Spanish society through an experimental collaborative methodology. It examines cultural production, public space and the collective imaginary through the prism of the ghost, understood as an echo of silenced voices and historical facts. Developed with Moroccan and Spanish cultural agents, the project explores narrative strategies to resignify places such as the Plaça Tetuan in Barcelona, the neighborhood of Tetuán de las Victorias in Madrid or the cinema “Español” in the proper city of Tetwan, Morroco.
