MERCADO DE FUTUROS. Mercedes Álvarez (interview).

Independent Films, Documentaries

Spain 2011. 114’.
Directed by: Mercedes Álvarez

An old house must be demolished. The objects and stories it contains are the starting point of this film, which skillfully depicts the spirit of our age. Watching a real estate trade show, the brokers of the financial world, the preachers of business success, we see how the space becomes more and more virtual, how personal and collective memories are evicted and how dreams and passions are reduced to mere merchandise, put up for sale in a Mercado de Futuros.
