2008, Benidorm. Nico works with his stepfather Elías in the family construction company. The developer's non-payments lead to bankruptcy and a debt that will haunt them for years. Job insecurity means that the family survives by lying, swindling and profiting from the sale of clandestine excursions to Imserso pensioners on the coast of Alicante. An autofiction that talks about how to alleviate the anguish, tighten the tension and defeat the cataclysm, through the family bond.

Objectives:
Our goal at Ventana Cinemad is to broaden the path and find new partners for the film “The Collision.” To achieve this, we hope to find co-production in regions such as the Valencian Community or Catalonia. Additionally, we need a European co-producer and hope that the Madrid Community market will help us secure one. Finally, we want to present Jairo González’s debut feature to sales agents and distributors so they can begin to learn about the film.
