Crustaceans - Love and rage in the streets of unrest

This compelling documentary unfolds in Spain during the height of the economic crisis and the wave of anti-austerity protests known as the Indignados movement.

For two years, the filmmakers captured the demonstrations that shook Madrid, Barcelona, and other cities, weaving fiction into the fabric of real street uprisings. Against this backdrop of social upheaval, characters navigate heartbreak and survival, their struggles mirroring the collective rage and despair of a society in turmoil.

Like crustaceans, they shield their wounds under a hard shell, exposing the intimate fractures of life within a nation fighting against economic collapse and political disillusionment.
