Synopse
The technical dream, deployed towards the exploration of space, has also motivated an
inverse movement: the opening of a subterranean world. Beneath the modern city there lies
a vast labyrinth of galleries, tunnels, sewers, transportation networks... An immense spiders
web that sits upon and depends on the visible city; a functional and essential space but also a
symbolic area, a hidden sphere: the unconscious of the city.
An urban symphony that invites us to reflect upon the habitat we have created for ourselves.
Un viaje a las entrañas de Madrid, a su subsuelo de galerías, túneles y alcantarillas, como símbolo del inconsciente de una gran urbe. El director de Edificio España regresa a uno de esos espacios que existen alrededor pero que mantienen su halo de misterio, esa desconocida realidad cotidiana, prometiendo una sinfonía urbana con atmósfera de ciencia-ficción
Regie
VÍCTOR MORENO (*1981) studied film and philosophy in Madrid. After Edificio España (2014) and Holidays (2010) The Hidden City is his third full-length film.
