Description:

(Catalan): Film humorístic amateur, en el qual l'autor especula, irònicament, amb el significat literal dels diaris de l'època (1934), com per exemple, un presoner està llegint el diari LA LIBERTAD darrera de les reixes de la presó.

Film about the social impact of newspapers in the everyday life of the interwar period. It mixes fiction with documentary styles and warns against the political implication of mass media, especially in relation to their effect on workers, from a conservative perspective.
