1903, before the Revolution… The Citrillo’s Turns is a pulque bar in Mexico City, in which beings with no present or future gather to drink their lives away and tell stories of the dead and apparitions. Thus is woven a story of real passions –love, betrayal, jealousy, pillage- in an atmosphere of drunkenness and hallucination.

A flirtatious sorcerous fancies a handsome human professor. Cross time antics arise when she attempts to bring the hapless professor into her alternate dimension.

Based on the juvenile delinquency of the 1970s and 80s in Spain. Set in Barrio de la Mina in Barcelona, one of the most conflict neighbourhoods in Spain. it follows real juvenile delinquents all with criminal records, used to give the film a realistic touch.

In this docudrama, life in a Catalan village in the early years of the Franco era (1939-1975) is chronicled.

A caustic satire of many of the 'types' found in Spanish society.
