This discovery turns her life upside down, revealing a hidden truth lying beneath a veneer of apparent stability.

“Night and Day, TV3’s revelatory series for this season, is very good. It is one of the channel’s best in-house productions, if not the best. Particularly because it aims to offer something that goes beyond what we have seen to date.

The comic element is achieved by playing off of stereotypical character types: jealous and dissatisfied; generous and and charming; bitter and self-important; positive and engaging; negative and self-pitying, and all of that wrapped in clever, fast-paced and witty dialogue.

Following a miserably unhappy childhood and a bleak marriage, Laia barely manages to survive her relationship with two men while being confronted with the hatred of her village and dreaming about the freedom that only the sea can grant her.

10 Looming Affairs 2 x 90’ Power plays, submission, forbidden love and irreconcilable hatred: multiple stories unfolding in a textile colony.
“Looming Affairs” is set in the 1950s in a textile colony just outside of Barcelona. It is about the poisoned social relationships of the people living there, victims of both the despotism and condescendence ruling their lives.
The series portrays individual and collective stories of power struggles, love and hate. It shows what it meant to be born, live and die within the walls of a factory that was much more than just a workplace: it provided housing, a school, a church, shops, all the needs of the people working and living there.
The story begins with the death of the textile colony’s accountant in a mysterious and devastating fire. His wife Teresa, his mother and his children, have to vacate the house they live in so that it can be occupied by the new accountant, Climent, who as a teenager was, and still is, in love with Teresa.
Barefoot on Red Soil 2 x 90’ A story that touches the soul and awakens a passionate sense of outrage and injustice.
A simple man takes on two giants: the Vatican and the powerful land- owners of Mato Grosso in Brazil. A fierce, courageous fight in defense of the poor and downtrodden.
The story unfolds during two significant periods in the life of Bishop Pere Casaldaliga. One was in 1988 when he was subjected to an “examina- tion of faith” by Cardinals Gantin and Ratzinger in Rome’s Vatican City. The other was in 1968, the year he arrived in Sao Felix in Brazil at the age of 40, enthusiastic about the possibility of working as a missionary.
He soon discovered the sordid conditions of the lives of the most vulner- able: the downtrodden workers, exploited and often murdered with total impunity by the most powerful landowners, as authorities turned a blind eye in a flagrant travesty of justice. A cruel, ruthless situation that Casaldaliga fought to the point of putting his own life in danger.

Pills Searching for Illness 1 x 60’
The unquestionable benefit that medication has had on lengthening life spans and enhancing quality of life goes hand in hand with a disproportionate rise in the use of medications, to such an extent that in wealthy countries the illnesses associated with them are the third cause of death, following heart attacks and cancer.
Certain pathologies seem to have increased spectacularly. Nowadays who doesn’t know a child with ADHD? And along with illnesses, the consumption of prescribed drugs increases.
Must we medicate ourselves to that extent? Is it necessary to take a pill to cope with natural life pro- cesses such as menopausal hot flashes or grieving over the death of a family member? Do we really need to keep our cholesterol count under 200 or is it that by raising that threshold, millions fewer pills would be sold around the world?.
The pharmaceutical industry is the main beneficiary of this excessive consumption of medications. “Disease mongering” - as some call the lucrative business of encouraging ailments- has broadened the range of illnesses and their respective remedies.
This documentary analyzes some medications that have wreaked havoc among consumers from different countries. Those affected accuse the pharmaceutical industry of hiding the side effects of products that have caused irreversible physical damages or even death, as in the case of Agreal, Paxil and Propecia. These medications have been sold all over the world. Some countries have now banned them, but they are still on the market in others.

14 Celebrating 1000 years 1 x 55’
The Sant Daniel Monastery in Girona, Spain is celebrating its thousandth anniversary. This is a milestone that not many institutions have the priv- ilege of achieving. In honor of the event, the Benedictine nuns who live there have opened the monastery doors to outsiders. This documentary reflects a type of coexistence that relatively few people in the world experience, and which is clearly becoming extinct.
The Sant Daniel nuns are most likely the last to devote their lives to a monastic life. Thus, this film serves as a unique view, maybe among the last, of life as lived inside a monastery. The nuns freely share their wor- ries, doubts, ideals, hopes, projects and disappointments as well as their joyful moments and low times. In fact, reflecting a life not so different from our own.

Only when he comes to realize that reality is not what we see in the movies, will he truly grow up. Game over.

Dressed in Black 1 x 55’ Dressed in Black is a voyage to—and a personal portrait of—Afghani- stan in the company of journalist Mònica Bernabé who has lived there for the past eight years.
In order to blend in and survive in a country where violence is a part of everyday life, she dressed in black during her entire stay there and in the course of that time was able to put together a profound and up close look at life as lived by the people of Afghanistan.
“Dressed in Black” is a unique and timely mosaic of shocking realities: the difficult situation in which women there live, many of them imprisoned for long periods, accused of so-called “moral crimes,” which includes denouncing domestic violence; the story of Afghan translators at risk of death for having worked for the Spanish army; the work done by the Red Cross Hospital in Kandahar, and the tenuous resources available to support it; and the hope placed in women’s football, representing a spark of change in that country.

Dani Jiménez presents an entertaining program focused on science-related topics in an easy and fun style that captivates the whole family.
In each program, our host performs an experiment combined with a “do-it-yourself” lesson, which is the core idea of “Dinamiks .”
The experiment is set up in such a way that children can easily and successfully repeat it at home. Dani also asks interesting questions with surprising answers together with another experiment to help make those answers more easily understood. So, in this segment of the program we discover things like why popcorn pops, the reason fish don’t pass gas or why fakirs can sleep on a bed of nails and feel no pain.
Tricks of ingenuity, skill, intuition, perception. These are the challenges; viewers learn new things and meet with surprises and, at the same time, are encouraged to reflect on what they see. In Dani’s laboratory—colorful, magical and full of good humor—lots happens and anything is possible.
Dinamiks has met with spectacular success among family audiences, managing to triple Super3 channel’s average audience share since the program’s first broadcast. It has had equal success on the Internet with a significant number of program visits and viewings. Its wide popularity among young viewers led to the creation of a board game based on the program, which was one of the best-selling products during Christmas season.
