UNDER THE WEATHER …elegy for an ordinary man There is no ‘best thing’ about having terminal cancer, but for forty-year-old Joe, being welcomed back into his childhood home, feeling the warmth and support of his sister and her husband and observing his young niece’s blossoming emotional maturity seem to give new meaning to a life he feels he had wasted. With unexpected humour, stark realism and quiet insight, UNDER THE WEATHER is an uplifting meditation on one man’s graceful surrender to the inevitable and the palpable impact his passing has on those he leaves behind.

EL SABATER D’ORDIS (THE COBBLER OF ORDIS)
Days have passed since Antoni Iglesias´ son, the cobbler of Ordis, disappeared. The recurrent visions of him crying for help will be the trigger for the cobbler to look for him.
This trip will turn, against all odds, and with the help of wine, a desperate adventure to flee his torturing sadness. It will also help him to fight not only his most inner fears but also the dark beings around him.
The rural atmosphere, sordid and mostly miserable from the plain areas of Empordà in the first quarter of the 20th century and the mistery and legends of the towns, the forests and the mountains, the siren songs coming from the water, the tramuntana wind blaring through the Albera in Figueres, they are the main characters and witnesses of a story full of epic mithology.
The movie was filmed near the areas and old towns of Ordis, Avinyonet, Castelló
d’Empúries, Figueres, Vilafant, Vilanant, Lliurona, Albanyà, Llers and also in cap de Creus and the Aiguamolls, amongst other places.
