Also because we\u2019re talking about the life on the margins of the system, in a strange landscape, in the heat of the summer &#8230; And that\u2019s something that I always had in mind in creating the aesthetic atmosphere of the film.\u00ab<br \/>\n\u2013 Neus Ballu\u0301s<\/p>\n<p>Raul, a farmer who wants to grow organic food, hires Iurie to help him in the fields. Iuri is a Moldavian wrestling fighter, who earns a living in whatever comes his way. Slowly, their personal stories intertwine with those of three solitary women: Maria, an elderly lady forced to leave her countryside house for a retirement home; Rose, a Philippine nurse who has just arrived in the country; and Maribel, a prostitute who has fewer and fewer clients. The destinies of all these characters become entwined as the summer goes on.<br \/>\n<strong>La plaga<\/strong> is a film of interwoven stories that offers a portrait of life on the outskirts of Barcelona. The main characters are not actors. They play themselves after four years of working with the director. This long process has permitted Ballu\u0301s to reveal the uncertainty and rebel spirit that underlies contemporary crisis-hit Spain.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":19748,"template":"","movie_year":[99],"movie_genre":[80],"movie_cat":[347],"festival":[565],"class_list":["post-10899","movie","type-movie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","movie_year-99","movie_genre-feature-film-en","movie_cat-international-debut-feature-film-competition-en-2014","festival-2014-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Plague - Internationales Frauen Film Fest<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/frauenfilmfest.com\/en\/movie\/la-plaga\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Plague - Internationales Frauen Film Fest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"\u00bbBecause of this feeling of loneliness and uncertainty, I\u2019ve always thought of La plaga as a contemporary western.
