In a forest on the outskirts of Barcelona an old shepherd and his flock live alongside a high-tech laboratory for animal experimentation. Two opposite worlds facing each other. Two worlds that are two sides of the same coin.

Ada Colau, a well known activist against evictions in Spain, decides to run for Mayor of Barcelona.

Concived as a user’s manual, this agitprop-style film portraits what a common week would look like inside the main anti-eviction movement in Spain: the PAH (Platform for People Affected by Mortgages). The film placed cameras at the heart of the Barcelona’s organization during one year to depict, not only the post-housing bubble drama, but mainly the deep process of transformation and empowerment of those who form this unique social movement praised throughout the world.
