SINOPSIS
A portrait of the day-to-day lives of four Barcelona families that have to live with the dramatic effects of mass tourism. Through them, we get an idea of the great transformation that the city is undergoing, and we come to the realisation that this creeping yet irreversible process of “touristification” is expelling residents from their homes and neighbourhoods, and that the city’s identity will be forever changed by it.
