LA MOSQUITERA (Agustí Vila, España 2010, 95 min., v.o.s.e.)

Men touch each other with blows. An energetic duo about masculine construction. A deconstruction of the contemporary virile behaviour, acclaimed by some and questioned by many. CLINCH in boxing is the moment in which the two boxers hug and block each other until the referee separates them. This movement is about getting as close as possible to your rival to protect yourself from their attack. CLINCH exposes the most toxic masculinity, established in the competition, the denial and the confrontation to all that is different. Furthermore, the denial of feelings, excluding rage or fury, that must be demonstrated through the exercise of violence.

Una familia en crisis, cuyos miembros viven atrapados en un mundo de culpabilidad y sentimientos enfrentados. Entre el fuego cruzado de sus padres está Lluís, un adolescente refugiado en un silencio que se rebela contra el mundo de los adultos y a quien el mero hecho de vivir le hace sentirse culpable y acoge en casa a todo tipo de animales. Este es el punto de partida de un relato de malentendidos cruzados, atrapados por una red invisible que los aísla: la mosquitera.
