Actor Jordi Pau reads a poem. In one single unmoving shot in a darkened room, with a television in the background showing a photograph of General Franco and a photograph of two lovers, we learn the filmmaker's view of the world – a world that also includes one girl. In terms of form, the emphasis is more on a pedantic approach to the depicted subject that on the director's provocation. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)
