MAGALUF GHOST TOWN
Spain 2021 – Director: Miguel Angel Blanca – Original language: Spanish – Subtitles: English, None – Length: 80 min.
High season and off season in Magaluf, Mallorca. One million people – Britons for the most part – invade the small town every year. Its inhabitants’ lives are dominated by the ebb and flow of the tides of cheap tourism, between myths and petty crime, dreams and everyday concerns. A morbid, atmospheric look at a local and, at the same time, global phenomenon. Samay Claro
