La ràbia

The spread of xenophobic, classist, sexist, and homophobic ideas among young people in Barcelona's working-class neighbourhoods is exponential. It is frightening. The feeling that the great-grandchildren of those who suffered through the Civil War are embracing the same ideas that, almost a century ago, forever marked this country, becomes increasingly difficult to manage as we move further into this first, turbulent half-century. 

In La ràbia, the relationship between four lifelong friends slowly deteriorates as one of them is drawn into the far-right radicalisation process. We neither seek nor are able to fully analyse all the causes of this totalitarian drift in much of our youth; we simply intend, based on a real case but relying on the immense power of fiction, to present you with a contemporary social drama, a story of emotions that invites you to reflect on the fragility of our convictions and how easily the human condition can be broken.
