Three charming 20-something grandsons take a unique journey with their grannies to discover their historic and personal legacies through stories from the Second World War. Three grandsons embark an anarchic journey into the past – a complex road movie about intergenerational dialogue in Great Britain, Germany and Hungary. Granny Project is a seven-year-long investigation of three young men coming to terms with their heritage through the extraordinary lives of their grandmothers: an English spy, a dancer from Nazi Germany and a Hungarian communist Holocaust survivor. The film deals with classic values and taboo-like historical topics, and the method used is equally important as it gives an insight to the zeitgeist of the young today.
Documentary about an unknown episode of the 20's: the cooperation between Spain and Germany to manufacture in secret the most sophisticated weapons of the time. This film recovers an extraordinary character, Horacio Echevarrieta, one of the most influential men in high political and economic convulsed Spain in the early S.XX. With a fortune inherited by family, this Basque businessman and banker spread the tentacles of power to the mining, fleet of merchant ships, land speculation (creation of the Gran Via in Madrid or Barcelona Metropolitan), newspapers and companies as Iberdrola, Iberia and Cementos Portland, and risked his entire empire to realize his dream of building the best boat that had ever sailed.
We are roaming around a futuristic, geometric construction whose structure emerges in a milky white.

It is down to the “citrus tristeza virus”— a disease leading to the decline of trees — which struck the families living in this region of Cuba, who survive, now, in the virtual ruins of a former agronomy school inhabited by “New Men” familiar with the latest orange-growing techniques.

This thoroughly engaging video tracks an Iraqi Arab family, an Iraqi Kurdish family, and a Nigerian couple for a full year, witnessing their struggle to adapt to life on the margins of an unforgiving city while awaiting visas and work permits that never seem to come.
