Warning: Spoilers
'MANOLO MARCA REGISTRADA' tells the story of Manolo, a middle-aged technician, that full of confidence gets inside an air conditioning system trying to repair it.

It apparently happens to be a simple job, but everything complicates and he finally gets lost inside a labyrinth of tubes with the only help of a cell phone and a lighter. Every attempt asking for help will be useless.

As a result, Manolo suffers an internal transformation. He realizes that he no longer belongs to the world that surrounds him. Living in a world that changes too quick for him, he is not able to adapt to the changes of a global society. And he finds out that he is completely alone.

Manolo's journey, is just an excuse to make a reflection about the global nature of our society, and how difficult it is for a middle aged man to adapt to the quick changes of our society.

We live in a world where the human identity is blurred by an accumulation of global elements. In a world full of no-places unable to establish specific relationships with people. In a world where it is possible to make a trip around the world inside an air-conditioning system, just because all those no-places without local identities, they are all present and resumed inside a single building known as Shopping Centre.

Manolo (close to the end): "Everything is connected"
