Self
A real voyage in an apparently unreal situation. Four priests incarcerated in Zamora's prison for priests (1968-1976) return to visit the jail where they were condemned, in some cases, to sentences of more than ten years for having given sermons in which they denounced the repression under Franco.
Hotel Explotación: Las Kellys
Camera Operator
More than two hundred thousand women work as maids in Spain, and perform a task as fundamental as invisible in the hospitality sector. Our documentary covers the life, problems and struggle of the Kellys (the ones that clean the hotels). While the government proclaims the strength of the tourism industry in our country, as a flagship of GDP, its working conditions have progressively worsened, reaching a charge of one and a half euros per room. 'Hotel Explotación: Las Kellys' is the story of a fight to empower, organize and restore dignity.

If They Tell You I Fell
Assistant Director
In the post Spanish civil war years, Catalan kids would sit in circles among the ruins and tell stories, known as "aventis" (the film's original title in Catalan, its original language). These tales mix war stories, local gossip, comic book characters, fantasy and real events. The "aventis" told in this film are told in flashback. In the mid 80s, 45 or so years after the age of the "aventis," a doctor and a nurse-nun (who grew up together, and now are co-workers in a hospital) identify the corpse of one of the main characters of the "aventis" of their childhood and adolescence. Besides the interesting flashbacks - a chronical of the Civil War in a "typical" Barcelona microcosm itself, the discovery of this body (belonging to someone long presumed dead) leads to other surprises and unresolved doubts, several decades later
General Report
Sound Recordist
How does a country go from a dictatorship to a democracy? A detailed report on the political representation in the heart of the Spanish Transition, only a few months after General Franco’s death, when the sincere democratic vocation of Spanish people must effort to destroy, one heavy brick after another, the wall that those who supported the dictatorship and those who fought it from the exile built with resentment, hatred and prejudices.
