Glories (Nobody’s Land) (0+)

Spain, 2008, colour, 25 min.
Director: Jaime Quinto
In every contemporary metropolis there are vague places which evoke a kind of latent absence, places condemned to oblivion. Such is the case of Plaça de les Glòries, a transitory place for hundreds of citizens, as well as the coexistence environment for a small neighbourhood. It is one of those bizarre urban spaces where we can see a duality due to its transformation in a valuable area, motionless while it waits for the imminent arrival of modernity.
