FOCUS ON

SPA 01 Spanish Treasures

Big stories can emerge from the simplest of ideas. Broken hearts and helplessness collide with tradition and tumult. In this little tour through the country’s best and most beloved short films of recent years, Spain appears in a new light and stories of the past prove their universal appeal. Here, heroes old and new take the stage, blending the back-then and the here-and-now into a colorful Spanish patchwork of small-scale struggle and epic romance.
