I’m French, Spanish, English, Danish. I’m not one, but many.
 I’m like Europe, I’m all that. I’m a real mess

One of the greatest european movie that I see lately. Original and fun, have beatiful pictures of this, my city and not falls into the clichés of españa y olé! Furthermore, treat the catalan reality as it is, waht never happens in a foreing film that happens in Barcelona.

Finally, the movie makes would like to live the experiences of going to live abroad (I’ll do the next year, I’ll go to London), a difficult but rewarding experience, as the movie slogan says a year can change a lifetime.

This movie have a second part where all the people taht met in Barcelona, meet again in some european cities, I want to see but I never encounter, Les Poupées Russes, someday I’ll watch it.

    Tiene que estar bien!la verdad ultimamente me intereso bastante por los programas que te enseñan la vida de los erasmus, en plan “madrileños por el mundo” y cosas asi (no se si se hará en Barcelona en plan “catalanes por el mundo” pero esta bien, es uno de los escasos programas que no estan mal en Telemadrid xD)
    Me gusta ver como se las apañan en un país nuevo y tal, quien sabe quizas el año que viene te veamos por la tele de España contando la experiencia :D
    Besos cuidate!
    Ale
