About Dreams and bread
The film Dreams and bread resurrects a legendary subgenre: quinqui cinema. Through the story of the protagonists Dani and Javi, this film explores themes such as uncertainty of young generations who do not find their place in this new stage and the real problems those they face to get ahead. Set in the surroundings of Madrid, Dreams and bread is a ode to escapism, to young people trapped in an urban center that does not allow them to develop or find their way.
The filming and production team of this film, which has already been released on the big screen and has received several international awards, is mostly made up of artists trained in TAI.
George Steane, actor of strange way of life by Pedro Almodóvar and Xavier de Luis, director, actor and producer of the Paroxa theater company give life to the protagonists Dani and Javi. ThisTwo characters, with very different energy and personalities, find the perfect balance, forming an inseparable friendship that fights to live and achieve their dreams.
Synopsis
Javi and Dani steal a painting. Suspecting its considerable value, they launch a plan to sell the work. Plan that falls apart with every step they take. Both take a Sanchopancesque path, forcing sales attempts from the outskirts to the most high-end galleries in the city. The two travel through the city as their luck diminishes, appeasing the moral judgment that the act they have committed entails. task.
'It's a story of transit,
perhaps nowhere, which collaterally represents the
journey of those of us who made it, we wrote it when we were 19 and
we finished with 23' (Luis 'Soto' Muñoz).
