Crustáceos plot

"Without a fight."

Ode to love in a time of crisis, turmoil, excitement, violence, pain and hope. Filmed against the background of first small-scale and later massive Spanish street protests against evictions and the breakdown of social rights between 2010 and 2013. About a couple who cannot live with or without each other: a mother who misses her child and a woman who reads poetic texts between the leaves hanging from the trees: "Pick a leaf, be the wind". Shots of slogans, drums, police cordons, half-empty coffee and deserted streets. People in suffering. Heavily armed police officers who take off their helmets to loud cheers in solidarity with the people Herrero tries to weave a loving humanitarian pamphlet from partly documentary and partly staged images, born of anger at the icy political reality that all humanity lacks.
