An intimate view on suicide, its taboo and its effects on two different families and a friend.

The Filomena snowstorm in central Spain was undoubtedly exceptional. Its return period in many places exceeded half a century, particularly in Madrid. Despite accurate weather forecasts, Filomena brought roads, public transport, health centers, and other basic services in Madrid to a standstill. What went wrong in the management of this weather event?

A documentary that tries to analyze the invisibility of homosexual people in Spanish football.

Anyone who believes that we are in a tolerant society is mistaken. The 2018 Special Raxen Report warns that there is an intensification on a global scale of acts of intolerance and hate speech; a phenomenon the authors have agreed to call the "globalization of intolerance," which, they warn, is normalizing identity hatred. The Internet is the perfect channel for creating and sharing hate speech. Insults are hurled at the stroke of a tweet, and threats are made from anonymity. In the network these messages are available to anyone. There are more than 1,500 web pages that promote hate, discrimination and violence against those who are different and are also promoting illicit associationism in this area. In 2021 there were 1802 hate crimes. Being tolerant is a virtue that we must cultivate, are we acting against hate?

In Equatorial Guinea there is strong social homophobia and LGBT people are victims of police harassment and discrimination. Activists Angel and Gonzalo testify about the persecution they suffer, the difficulty of coming out of the closet as it is a taboo within families, conversion therapies and the role of the church. A very shocking reality that reminds us of past times in Spain. In this documentary we also make a comparison between LGBT rights in Equatorial Guinea and Spain, how they have evolved, the possibility of regression, etc. with the testimony of Spanish activists, politicians, etc.
