Synopsis

Pepe has been released from psychiatric hospital on completing his sentence for robbing to work. His need to fit into a senseless world becomes a desperate enterprise. Antonio, a tetraplegic writer, fights for the right to access his own body and for the sexuality of people with functional diversity, awakening the prejudices of those closest to him. The friendship between Antonio and Pepe questions the way we see life and invites us to recognise ourselves as an anomaly. *Catalan première

His filmography tries to propose an alternative discourse with themes usually absent from hegemonic cinematographic creation, enhanced by direct ties with militant individuals and groups. His films have been exhibited and awarded at festivals such as San Sebastián or Tallin.
