Synopsis
After consolidating itself as a tourist destination in the mid-1960s, the small coastal town of Hospitalet de l’Infant has become a dormitory town for workers at the nearby nuclear power station. Drawn by neoliberal promises of prosperity and a better life, many workers moved here to work at the new power station. A growing sense of collective unease and long silences broken only by strong gusts of wind shape the landscape of a town now utterly dependent on the power station for its survival.
Bio/Filmo
Marc Luguera (Sitges, 1997) graduated in film and audiovisual media from ESCAC and specialised in nonfiction. His sharp critical and political approach to the visual arts, with a healthy dash of irony and sarcasm, can be seen in his debut film, Con vistas al mar. This short documentary not only paints a portrait of a coastal town, but also offers a biting critique of a neoliberal model that will eventually engulf the whole municipality.
