Synopsis_

“A portrait of people who live in the suburbs of a european metropolis like Barcelona”

Through a spiral narrative structure, Outskirts takes us on a journey across the echoes of the past of Santa Coloma (a township near Barcelona). Its neighbors transformed a suburb into a dignified city. That past reverberates in the present of its streets, squares and faces. Once again, the outskirts will be disclosed as spaces to rehearse genuine ways of life.

It is by its spiraling narrative that we are invited to reflect on what sustains the architecture of a city and our ways of life: What does it mean to be involved in a world that that doesn’t seem to be willing to improve? Once again, the outskirts will be disclosed as spaces to rehearse genuine ways of life.
