Spanish logline
Leo y Diana, una pareja aburguesada, llevan un televisor roto a un punto de reciclaje. Allí conocen a Salif y a su hijo Yousef, dos chatarreros a los que invitan a su mansión para donarles más objetos. La situación se enrarece cuando descubren que los chatarreros tienen algo que ellos quieren.

Director’s Statement
“One could think that THE MASTERPIECE is the painting, or even this great short film! but it is actually the system, the fight behind the free market, the money, the capitalism, the North vs. the South, the West vs. East, the wealthy classes against everything else, playing with lives in that white and black squared board. Maybe the only real racism is economic? the rest is history…”
