L’Hospitalet, simfonia d’una ciutat

SYNOPSIS

The second most populous Catalan city and a great unknown, Hospitalet has grown divided by train tracks and waves of immigration that have drawn a diverse and complex reality. The disuse and state of abandonment of the old factories, as well as the rising cost of land in Barcelona, have made the city a very attractive location for artists and creators. The creation of a cultural district and the burying of the train tracks open their doors to an uncertain future. What could be an oasis for artists and culture, will it end up becoming a new gentrification or will it be the start of an innovative project for everyone?
