“Sis Dies Corrents” de Neus Ballús mostra um choque cultural entre um jovem marroquino e seu chefe catalão, expondo os preconceitos e fetiches do “exótico” que os europeus possuem diante de Moha (Mohamed Mellali). Valero (Valero Escolar), o chefe, é um preconceituoso que não consegue admitir a eficiência do rapaz, sendo rude em todas as situações e partindo na defensiva para dizer que “preconceituoso são os outros, não eu” ou “os clientes não gostam dos estrangeiros”, tentando argumentar que a contratação foi um equívoco.

Violeta leads a normal life in a well-off family, with loving parents, surrounded by everything the heart of an eleven-year-old girl might wish for. But she hasn’t always been the pretty girl she is today; she was born a boy. At age 6, she baffled her parents (the famous adult movie stars Nacho Vidal and Franceska Jaimes) when she told them she wanted to be called and dress as a girl. After the initial shock, they decided to give her all their support on the long and tough road that will lead to her becoming a woman someday. Violeta faces many challenges, medical (such as deciding whether or not to take hormone-blockers to stop the development of masculine features as soon as puberty kicks in) and legal (obtaining an ID card with her new name and gender). Later, she may consider getting a sex reassignment procedure, or the possibility of becoming a mother through adoption.
