Pantalla Pavelló | “Barcelona” | Film series “Sis dies corrents” – Neus Ballús

“Sis dies corrents“ (Neus Ballús, 2019) immerses us in the everyday lives of three plumbers as they move through Barcelona doing their daily work. Combining a near-documentary style with non-professional actors who are real tradespeople, the film shows the city through small balconies, courtyards, and streets, populated by residents, children at play, and neighbours interacting. It reflects social and cultural diversity in a natural, unforced way. Through intelligent humour and ordinary situations, Ballús explores human relationships, intergenerational and intercultural coexistence, and the tensions between modest and comfortable lifestyles, all while maintaining a light and tender tone. The mix of languages, the close attention to the characters, and the urban atmosphere make the film a unique snapshot of contemporary Barcelona, capturing everyday life with authenticity, humour, and emotion.
