A cascade of images, advertising, film, television, simultaneously offering a kaleidoscope of different perspectives. A woman runs down a hallway, another provocative moves her chest, another places a slip, a miss, a teenager, a nail is broken, the blood mixed with the water reaches the drain, it drops into the void, the bowl is broken, looking for the exit but the elevator door opens and closes uncontrollably ... On the relations of the cleaning and sex they have already enlightened us, know let's see some pictures ...

Tarajal: Dismantling Impunity on the Southern Border is a documentary research project by the production company Metromuster, which previously produced the influential activist documentary Ciutat Morta. It has been commissioned by Observatori DESC, which is collaborating in the research process. Tarajal is based on statements from migration experts, journalists, lawyers, police spokespersons, and activists, as well as official declarations from the Interior Ministry, edited together to reveal the many contradictions in the accounts of the events leading to the death of 15 migrants at Tarajal. Above all, it suggests that the events may not have simply been a matter of police negligence, but part of a strategy designed for the application of migration control policies.

UntitledSufism is the original Islam, in contrast with the Islam that we see nowadays. Sufism doesn't accept any form of fanatism or violence. In these days, when a war between civizations threatens the world, any serious intend for the understanding between East and West cultures is more than necessary. This documentary leads to the comprehension of the Islam's original philosophy, through the interviews with some sufi masters (Sheikhs) and their followers around the world, and giving special attention to the chapter about the so-called “Islamic Terrorism”.
UntitledA kind of counter-advertisement to support the activists accused for the blockade of the Parliament on 15 June 2011. Edited with found footage that mixes an electoral campaign ad for Artur Mas and an ad for Audi, the car that he uses. This armoured Audi A 8 was the cause of one of the most serious accusations faced by some of the defendants. According to the prosecution, they brushed against it and hit it with their fists… and for this they are requesting an 8 year jail term. The Audi is a contemporary revival of what Ernst Kantorowicz said about the king’s two bodies in feudal societies. According to old political theology, the king had two bodies, an earthly one and a heavenly one, and as such attacking the first meant attacking God himself. You could say that Artur Mas also has two bodies, one is his own and the other (the heavenly one) is his Audi. So hitting the almost one and a half tonne armour plate of this massive vehicle is the equivalent of hitting Artur’s nose: almost an attack of lèse-majesté.
