EL TREN DE L'ALEGRIA
THE TRAIN OF JOY
Directed by Jordi Boquet Claramunt
Spain | 2023 | 22' | Catalan
In an acting class, some young aspiring actors follow the instructions of an influential teacher, who asks them to participate in a peculiar musical exercise. Among them is Tomàs, who confronts the professor's particular methods, while questioning himself what he is willing to do (or not do) to find the longed-for 'truth'.
