La plaça del diamant
Francesc Betriu
Sílvia Munt, Lluís Homar
Colometa is an average housewife with two children to care for in the late 1930's, as the Spanish Civil War is starting and her husband goes off to fight. She had been an ordinary woman working in a shop when she met the lively carpenter who married her, and their life together was without major problems. But now she is forced to raise her children under straitened circumstances, and after her husband dies, her life undergoes another major change as she marries for the second time. Underneath Colometa's acquiescent, forebearing exterior must lie just a few discontents, a few unrealized dreams - but they never surface as she blithely moves from one episode in her life to another.

Alicia en la España de las maravillas
Jorge Feliu
Mireia Ros, Silvia Aguilar
Four different Alices wander through mazes constructed from 40 years of Spanish history in this post-Franco meditation. Loosely related to the "Alice" of Alice in Wonderland, in one episode of this film, Alice (who is clearly a metaphor for the Spanish people) is raped by some multinational corporations. Told in a somewhat confusing manner, especially for those unfamiliar with the nuances of Spain's history in the period between 1936 and 1975, this is director Jorge Feliu's first feature film.

El vicari d'Olot
Ventura Pons
Enric Majó, Enric Cusí
In a small Catalan village take advantage of the visit of an ecclesiastical authority of Rome, during vacations, to organize a conference on the topic of religion and sex. This causes the people to divide into two camps, those who favor and those against the "Congress", until finally after a series of negotiations between both sides, we arrive at consensus. A large mosaic of characters carry the story to end happily, through critical situations with the conservative church.

El niño de la luna
Agustí Villaronga
Maribel Martín, Lisa Gerrard
Adopted by a treacherous semi-scientific cult where extraordinary mental powers are common, extraordinary 12-year-old David begins an archetypal journey across two continents to find his destiny as Child of the Moon.

Francesc Betriu
María Isbert, José Vivó
The service staff of a luxurious Catalan farmhouse has prepared a large banquet because the arrival of the guests is expected. Everything is ready, but nobody arrives. Then, the housekeeper and the other servants will occupy for a few moments the place of their masters and, like them, they will behave despotically.
The Faithful Servants
Un genio en apuros
Lluís Josep Comerón
Eugenio, José Luis López Vázquez
Not published writer, a sculptor who does not expose, a filmmaker who does not make movies ... amateur and professional around anything. His daughter, which is to care, is the only one who understands. A film producer who bombarded daily with an overview, each more extravagant reproaches his fantasy and challenges to look carefully for 24 hours whichever comes around to check that everything that happens follows a rigorous logic .
