32 Malasana Street (2020)
Meet your new neighbours
Malasaña neighborhood, Madrid, Spain, 1976. While political turmoil ravages the streets all over the country, the Olmedo family arrives in the big city and settles into their new apartment. They soon discover that they are not the only ones roaming its corridors.
In 32 Malasana Street, consciousness is carried by the dead — a plane of “haunted house”. The story fights on E8/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing fear, mortality, family.
