Stop

Misfortune leads the musical group Doble Pletina to be sentenced to perform community services in a mysterious park in Barcelona. Director Stanley Sunday unfolds his singular, fantastic and freely absurd universe in this witty musical comedy starring the band Doble Pletina. Stop includes four original songs by the group, produced by Hidrogenesse.

My Emptiness and I

Raphi, from France, fantasises about romances with princes, and about starting a traditional family. But in reality, things aren’t like that. She works in a call centre in Barcelona, struggles with at times embarrassing dates, and is diagnosed by her therapist as having gender dysphoria. During this confusing, yet valuable period, we follow this trans woman as she makes her transition, as well as in her everyday life. She talks candidly with colleagues, queer friends, and the men she meets through apps. In spite of all the advice she receives, it turns out that it is mostly time and experience that will help her embrace her place in this world.

Blue for a Boy

A married woman discovers her husband is having an affair with a male prostitute and wants to meet the lover to get answers. However, her plans are interrupted when she gets a heart-stopping call from the hospital — her husband had a stroke and is lying unconscious. The wife and the lover — who fell in love with the husband — both rush to the hospital, and the remainder of the film highlights the dynamic of the two grappling with their situation as they both wait for the husband to recover in the ICU.

The Lady in White

In 1942, the new Francoist bishop wants to regain control of the Pyrenean and Andorran territories, whose forests are occupied by Nazi soldiers and Republican maquis. Some of these have been found murdered after various violations. The bishop’s vicar and the village priest, Tomàs, have to investigate what is happening and what connection it has with the country’s ancient supernatural legends.
