De Madrid a la Luna
In the early 70s, a rather backwards young soldier with serious family problems finds himself stationed in a small village in Spain's Levante. Secretly in love with a young village girl, Pere slips into her room one night. When he is discovered, the soldier reacts with spontaneous violence, creating an embarrassing problem for the military that the brass decide to handle--expeditiously-- as "an internal affair."

La Casita Blanca. La ciudad oculta
Hour-long documentary about distinctive-looking Spanish character actor Víctor Israel.
The Evil Faces of Víctor Israel
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.
La bomba del Liceu
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.
