Five stories intertwine in a big city neighborhood. They are five worlds linked by their daily routine, with the bar, the shops and the market as the key places. These people show us their concerns, fears, hopes and dreams.The fear of illness or loneliness felt by Mariano and Conchi, two retired people living in the neighbourhood, the hope and sadness felt by Raquel, a middle-aged woman who experiences love over the Internet, the uncertain future of Cesar and Opo, two young people who work in the local supermarket and who are organizing their holiday, or Lolo’s discovery that there is another world beyond his bar, thanks to his relationship with Mao, his new cook… all this takes us through life in a working-class neighborhood with a script full of tenderness, comedy and bitterness. José Corbacho and Juan Cruz direct their first feature film which is based on a series of stories they know well, stories of the neighborhood in which they grew up, L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, and which they have captured in this script.

José Corbacho (b.1965) has worked in television and theater as director, producer and as an actor in theater and film. Tapas is his first film and, along with Juan Cruz, he took on the roles of co-director and co-writer.

Juan Cruz trained in Audiovisual Media, is also an experienced television writer and short filmmaker. In Tapas he shares directing and writing duties with José Corbacho.
