Synopsis
A home camera observes everyday life from the balcony of number 20 Princesa Street, in Ciutat Vella. Popular festivals, football matches, street protests and nightlife all make up an unplanned archive documenting the urban transformations between 1995 and 2010. Property speculation and mass tourism are just beginning to emerge, as are the first online communities which, from a new virtual square, start to record and publicise the relentless transformation of the centre of Barcelona.
