Hic digitur dei

A counterculture chronicle of the post-Franco years. Scripted by Quim Monzo and Roser Fradera

That the person who died in November 1975 was one of the many faces of power (even if it was terrible) is clear at the end. That all together it is a palindromic box of thunder, tied up with absurd relationships, becomes clear when the lights are switched back on. The fact is that, humorously and rigourously topical, Hic digitur dei is the subcultural chronical of the ‘Transition’. Shot outside the commercial circuit, using Super-8 cameras with screenplay by Quim Monzó and Roser Fradera, the film parodies genres and includes many participants from the Grec festival 1976 group. A faithful and stripped down testimony of the era.
