La doble vida del faquir (The magicians) returns to the scene of a school in the Catalan town of Sant Julià de Vilatorta where, in 1937, in the midst of civil war, a film-maker in hiding and a group of orphaned children dressed up as sultans and explorers shot an exotic adventure film. The films protagonists relive those childhood days when they were able to switch their school smocks for oriental turbans, while reality imposed its own fancy dress ball with military uniforms and priests dressed in civilian garb.

Architectural hallucination is a tour of the spectacular shapes of the first buildings designed by the Architecture Workshop. Serena's interpretation and the ideas of the voice-over explore the close relationship that exists between an architectural space and its inhabitant.
