Food and Shelter

Rocío, a young single mother, struggles to provide for herself and her son with no permanent or reliable work to ensure food on the table and a roof over their heads.

A poignant and challenging story with an incredible cast and a stunning performance by Natalia de Molina as Rocío. Director Juan Miguel del Castillo captures the difficulties of the the economic crisis in Spain, depicted through acts such as evictions and feelings of precariousness and helplessness with clarity, transparency and poignancy.
