Synopsis

In times of information glut, fake news and media and political wars, cinema recovers its mission of portraying reality... and dissecting how it gets constructed through the media. Taking as its starting point the events taking place in Barcelona in October 2020, the film grapples with the diversity of versions of the same events. Language, conceptual framework, manipulation and presumed objectivity. Riots or rallies, repression or vandalism? Objectivity or the complete opposite? (GDP)

*Following filmmaker's instructions, it is not subtitled in English.
