A young filmmaker dreams about being on a big film set: A little bar in Barcelona. Barmaid, junkie, artist and an unemployed are crossing their ways around a can of coke. The filmmaker is telling us their stories. Or is it another story? Who is who and what film are they shooting? What is fiction and what is reality? Real is at least the fact that capitalism has managed to dig its claws into us. How can we now get rid of it again?
