- Immersion explores the fascinating life of the aquatic creatures who frequently submerge themselves in the warm waters of a local swimming pool. People of all ages and conditions do what they can to accustom themselves to a medium that is not, at first, their own. The film, shot entirely below water, is a literal immersion into the medium in which life originated. A descent into the emotional depths of the individual.
- Quan plovien bombes (Raining Bombs) commemorates the 70th anniversary of the beginning of the bombings in Barcelona, during the Spanish Civil War. The interest of the project is not only the presence of the survivors, but mainly the way in which their memory is transmitted to other generations, usually very unaware of the Spanish Civil War reality.
- Raül, a farmer that tries to grow organic food, hires Iurie to help him in the fields. Iure is a Moldavian wrestling fighter, but in order to earn a living he has to work in whatever it comes. Slowly, their personal histories intertwine with those of three solitary women: Maria, an elder that has to leave the country house where she has always lived to join a retirement home; Rose, a nurse from Philippines who just arrived into the country; and Maribel, a prostitute that has less and less clients. The destinies of all these characters become entwined as the summer goes on. The Plague is a film of intertwining stories, that offers a moving portrait of life in the outskirts of Barcelona. The main characters are not actors. They play as themselves after four years of working with the director. This long process has permitted Ballús to reveal the uncertainty and the rebel spirit that underlies contemporary crisis-hit Spain.
