A tragicomedy, narrated by its own characters, Si Nos Dejan is a documentary about migrants, made by migrants in Barcelona. Different characters let us into their own quests, from the moment of their departures, and we watch as these quests and objectives ravel and unravel, leaving the essence of the individual. Their stories are shared by the director, an undocumented migrant herself, and by her camera; she has woven a fabric of different realities that meet as they follow a similar path.

Land and art intertwine through the mountain range and the jungle in this adventure packed with intimate goes beyond the known to the unknown aspects of being.

Sin Papeles tells the story of the of a hunger strike staged by migrant workers, without papers (sin papeles), in a small church in Barcelona by bringing together a sound recording of its climax made in March 2001 and film footage of the location shot four years later to the day. The subjective account of the event made by the artist in the form of a sub-titled narration is a process of personal reflection de-objectifying the subject of migration for the purpose of work, displacement and social order. The film is a reflection on the implications and realities of the aspects of the EU project that have created a fortress of Europe.
