A film director prepares to shoot a documentary about the urban miracle of Pontevedra but, in the midst of filming, he realizes that he knows little about the city and that, moreover, he is not very interested in the subject. He enters a creative crisis and realizes that he prefers to make a fiction. Although he is not clear about what, he calls his usual actresses and involves them in the project. They quickly notice that this is not going anywhere and rebel against the direction of the director. As a result of that rebellion, they end up filming something else which is, ultimately, Pontevedra Hora Cero
Sicixia is a fiction feature-length film shot in Costa da Morte (Galicia, Spain). Sicixia is an intended peripheral film. Periphery is where the world gets different, not where it ends. For Romans, Finisterrae was the end of the world. Sicixia wants it to start from here. Sicixia portrays Costa da Morte's unique heritage by intertwining fiction and reality, powerful images with subtle and rich sounds and stories.

Antoine and Olga, a French couple, have been living in a small village in Galicia for a long time. They practice eco-responsible agriculture and restore abandoned houses to facilitate repopulation. Everything should be idyllic except for their opposition to a wind turbine project that creates a serious conflict with their neighbors. The tension will rise to the point of irreparability.
Sira and Pepe return to Galicia after spending a decade in Berlin. They buy a house in a small, near-uninhabited village where their peculiar neighbour will insinuate herself into their lives.
Marquise is a drama about the rise and fall of a beauteous actress. As cheerfully portrayed by Sophie Marceau, the eponymous heroine is an engagingly ribald, but perhaps rather too modern, character. She rises from an impoverished background to become a favourite of the Sun King, Louis XIV, and the mistress of the celebrated Racine, who wrote roles especially for her; but her fate, in the end, is a tragic one.
