The sun does not always shine in Barcelona, the “best shop in the world” according to the slogan of a City Council campaign. The thousands of tourists who visit Barcelona every month boost the city's economy, but their social and human impact is often overlooked. The precarious nature of jobs in tourism, real estate pressure from the hotels, and the types of problems that crop up when a city turns into a kind of theme park in an attempt to seduce outsiders. The classic problems of global capitalism, reflected in one of the country's major industries... “BCN Thematic Park” talks about all this... about Barcelona, a city-advertisement that is turning into the newest theme park on the international market.

Each woman is looking for a way out or a change, even if for the moment the confrontation is at a personal level

The voice of Catherine is recorded over manipulated images of women from soap operas. The two juxtaposed discourses, the voice of Catherine and the soap opera images, contradict and identify, confront and reach out, oppose and support each other. Feelings as primordial and sophisticated as life itself. 3 Mostra de Vídeo Independent de Barcelona 1996.
