Màscares
Barcelona stirs in anticipation of its carnival. The lens slips into workshops where masks are born and follows the hands that craft them and the faces they will conceal. This is more than a festival report; it's a meditation on the thin line between self and disguise, between the hidden and the revealed. The documentary captures ordinary citizens morphing into mythical beings, their urban reality dissolving into ancient ritual. Each transformation becomes a silent question about identity, community, and the temporary liberty of becoming someone—or something—else.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The filmmaker approaches the carnival not as a spectacle, but as a deep, personal metamorphosis. The camera acts as a quiet witness to the precise moment a daily identity is willingly set aside.
What lingers after the final frame is the profound idea that disguise can be a form of ultimate honesty. The film suggests that in putting on a mask, we might actually take one off. — MovieFinder Editorial

The scent of glue and paint, the focused silence of creation before the revelry begins.
