Overview

• The feature screened in competition at the 2025 San Sebastián Film Festival to strong early reviews, with critics describing it as a leading awards contender.
• Blending documentary and fiction, the film builds a mosaic of resident testimonies shaped by a casting call and a discontinuous two‑year shoot.
• Set in Vallbona on Barcelona’s edge, the portrait covers up to a dozen languages and a mix of long‑time locals and newer arrivals from diverse regions.
• The approach avoids a purely victimizing frame, observing daily joys alongside conflicts and losses as infrastructure and local strains press on the neighborhood.
• Guerín warns that surging nationalist and far‑right rhetoric threatens the community’s fragile bonds, and the film is slated for theatrical release in February.
