- LIANG HUAN is a young man with a Chinese mother and a Spanish father who grew up in the suburbs of Barcelona. He makes a living giving as a kung fu teacher and dealing with his neighborhood friends: PARDALES, a thief by profession who is like a cat with nine lives, and TRACAS, a drug dealer who is dim-witted, but with a big heart. Liang's great love is PEI LAN, a beautiful and mysterious student who attends his classes. What LIANG doesn't know is that Pei Lan is the daughter of SOONG, head of the Chinese mafia in Barcelona, whom she hopes to succeed one day. In order to get Pardales out of his regular prison visits, Liang acts as a confidant of MONTSE GELABERT, a police inspector who is after the Chinese mafia for having killed her family years ago. The arrival of WO YIM, one of the bosses of the Hong Kong Triad, will give Montse the chance to take revenge. To do so, she will put pressure on Liang to find out where the mafia keeps the money from their illegal business. Wo Yim, on the other hand, arrives in Barcelona not only to put the organization in order, but also to marry PEI LAN. However, Soong opposes this marriage because he wants to keep his daughter away from the mafia world. However, his position of inferiority to Wo Yim prevents him from doing anything to prevent it. The money trail leads Liang and Pardales to a clothing store in Badalona, a front for the mafia. But instead of informing the police, our antiheroes come up with the following idea.
- When Monica finds out her daughter is about to die she takes extreme measures to save her.
- A young man faces his "new" homosexuality immediately after falling in love with Annabella, a transsexual prostitute.
- Raül, a farmer that tries to grow organic food, hires Iurie to help him in the fields. Iure is a Moldavian wrestling fighter, but in order to earn a living he has to work in whatever it comes. Slowly, their personal histories intertwine with those of three solitary women: Maria, an elder that has to leave the country house where she has always lived to join a retirement home; Rose, a nurse from Philippines who just arrived into the country; and Maribel, a prostitute that has less and less clients. The destinies of all these characters become entwined as the summer goes on. The Plague is a film of intertwining stories, that offers a moving portrait of life in the outskirts of Barcelona. The main characters are not actors. They play as themselves after four years of working with the director. This long process has permitted Ballús to reveal the uncertainty and the rebel spirit that underlies contemporary crisis-hit Spain.
- Flamenco is one of the world's few art forms that is believed to be passed down exclusively through bloodlines. For Barcelona's Gypsy community, it cannot be learned at a school or on paper. It is lived within the home, created at the bar and perfected on the street corner. Bajari goes to all those places with the dancer Karime Amaya-who is working with some of the most talented up-and-coming musicians and dancers to create an innovative show-and little 5-year old Juanito Manzano who takes his first steps to dance in it and earn his white flamenco boots. Their experiences form a journey of discovery of this living tradition and create an intimate portrait of how flamenco's legacy is kept alive within Barcelona's tight-knit Gypsy community.
- In addition to an incipient fondness for greyhound racing, the young Arnau has two inseparable companions: a songbird and a fox. Both accompany him in his journey to adolescence, a difficult transition due to some hard circumstances: the mother of the boy is locked in prison, and he is forced to live with his uncles.
- Armed robbers take cash from a department store, but they are killed or fatally wounded in their escape. A dying thief stashes a valise with a million Euros in the old car of Julia, a single parent who dances at a Barcelona peep show. She decides to keep the cash, but her suspicious babysitter tips off a nasty private investigator hired by the store's security firm to recover the cash. Julia manages to fight off the private eye the first time he confronts her, and she bolts with her daughter after asking a neighborhood bar owner for aid. He's Luis, quiet and helpful; he takes her to his mother's house in a small town. Can Julia evade the various bad apples on her trail?
- En un hipotético futuro no muy lejano la crisis se ha terminado. Pero esta increíble y fantástica noticia se topa con la incredulidad de quienes se convertirán en auténticos fugitivos de un sistema que adopta una nueva ley sin precedentes: queda totalmente prohibido hablar sobre la crisis. Crisis, ¿qué crisis? es una disparatada comedia romántica (y absurda) sobre el capitalismo y los grandes poderes.
