The Plague

Neus BALLÚS 2013 Spain Fiction color 85min Spanish DCP
The Plague is a film of interwoven stories that offers a moving portrait of life on the outskirts of Barcelona. The main characters are not actors. They play themselves after four years of working with the director. This long process has permitted BALLÚS to reveal the uncertainty and rebel spirit that underlies contemporary crisis-hit Spain.
