- The infamous El Raval quarter, with its narrow lanes full of dark figures, lies in the middle of Barcelona, in the Old Town, near the water. Where earlier, sailors shared the cheap little flats with working families, migrants from all over the world now characterize the area. In the small alleys their little barbershops lie side by side. Each nationality has its own. The businesses cater for parallel societies and have little contact with one another. Whoever enters apparently leaves Spain behind to plunge into a safe place of familiar rituals and memories of home. The barbers live from their regular customers and their almost pastoral ability to constantly talk about everything and nothing, or remain silent, whilst they softly touch and courageously beautify the heads and cheeks of the weary and burdened. The film tells of four hairdressers and their customers in El Raval, four small, strange time and space capsules, of people who left their home to find a better one, while the Spaniards are about to leave their own country themselves.

- Over the last ten years, a series of leaks of financial data have made politicians and public opinion in many Western democracies increasingly concerned about the tax optimisation practices of the wealthiest members of their society. In the shadow of the financial crisis, public opinion has been calling for reform of banking privacy and international tax agreements. The subject has created diplomatic crises between nations and tensions in financial markets. One of the figures at the centre of the debate is the Franco-Italian banking IT technician Hervé Falciani. In 2008, Hervé Falciani left his job at the Swiss branch of HSBC, taking with him - without authorisation - a hard-drive containing a database of 130,000 named bank accounts, held by citizens from 180 countries. This database found its way into the hands of many world governments. The purpose of this film is to examine the tax debate in a critical and engaging but also a balanced way.

- For all of us, life is a film with a predictable ending. With 7 billion future clients in mind, Spanish and Portuguese companies from the funeral sector meet every year in Ourense to show off their latest products and services. There are diamond-studded and mink-lined coffins, hardwood urns, Swarovski crosses as gifts and luxury cars for a high-class public. No, in death we are not all equal, although obviously it comes to the rich as it does the poor in the end. In "The Final Fair" (La última feria), morbid fascination, dread and black humour are washed down with cava and Iberian ham.

- Khaoula left Morocco years ago for Paris, then Seville and finally London. There, she had a successful career, but she preferred to move to Barcelona, where she could live her passion: soul music. Getting involved in a documentary production through a friend, Khaoula sets off on a journey through Morocco looking for sustainable projects in the Mediterranean area, with the aim of finishing her travels in Palestine. Will she finally succeed in unifying the red line of the Mediterranean culture? Her warm and melodic songs, combined with her natural ability to communicate with people with energy and enjoyment, bring us to a more familiar and intimate contact with Arab women. Her thoughts, like travel notes, through Morocco, Egypt and Palestine, reveal to us the new faces of a modern Mediterranean culture, caught between traditions and the new aspects of a sustainable lifestyle. She explores the modern Mediterranean identity and asks the question: is the Mediterranenan area still an open field where cultures have a mutual influence?
- In dismissing the case of Idrissa Diallo and by blocking all access to his police file, the Spanish legal system has made it nearly impossible to investigate why and how it was possible for a 21-year-old Guinean man to die in a migrant detention centre in Barcelona. The Spanish state never bothered to inform Idrissa's family about the passing of their beloved one and Idrissa was buried in an anonymous grave in Barcelona. Without having as much as a single photograph of the victim, the film crew of "Idrissa, Chronicle of an Ordinary Death" set out on a quest for justice, and to perform the moral duty that the Spanish state had shirked; to find Idrissa's body, find his family and find out what happened that night in a cell in the controversial detention centre.
