“I have a whole volume of signed appointment sheets. Every two months, we sign one.” For the past ten years, Fernando Casamayor, a procedural clerk in the social courts of Madrid and founder of the DJusticia union, has chained dozens of temporary contracts for the same job position, reinforcement staff. He has been working in Justice for 21 years, always as a temporary worker but has not managed to stabilize his position, despite having met the requirements and passed the necessary tests for the job pool.

That guy who became known, along with Gael García Bernal and Maribel Verdú, in Y tu mamá también (2001), Diego Luna (Toluca de Lerdo, 1979), has just presented his fifth feature as a director, Ceniza en la boca, at the Cannes festival. This adaptation of the novel of the same name by his compatriot Brenda Navarro (published by Sexto Piso), follows the steps of a Mexican teenager, Lucila (Anna Díaz), who migrates to Madrid and then to Barcelona, and synthesizes Luna’s commitment to the fight against racism, classism, and violence, which, as early as 1994, was expressed through the indigenous insurgents of Chiapas.

A week ago, while thousands of people tried to get close to the doors of the Teatre Grec, Olivia Rodrigo was singing in Barcelona before barely 2,000 guests at a concert organized by Spotify. Outside, hundreds of fans were left without tickets. Inside, Rodrigo celebrated that nine of her songs have surpassed one billion streams and also debuted a new aesthetic stage coinciding with the release of You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So In Love. Hours later, the internet had decided that the important thing was neither the concert nor her music. It was her look.
