About :
Creator of the Eixample, Ildefons Cerdà was a revolutionary who changed Barcelona forever Ildefons Cerdà was a giant ahead of his time. Like Karl Marx and Charles Darwin, he sought in reason and science a way to face the problems inherent in the end of the old regime and the beginning of the modern era. He was part of the first class of state engineers. A precursor of urban planning, he had a vision and dedicated his life to making it a reality. His plans still resonate around the world today. Forgotten and despised, his remains were in a box for years, under an office table. In Catalonia, Noucentisme, in order to assert itself, had to renounce the past. It has taken a hundred years to recover his figure and get an idea of the influence of his thought and work. In the documentary, actor Francesc Orella undertakes a search to get to know Ildefons Cerdà and be able to interpret him. With the help of scholars and experts, he visits the places where he lived and worked, and travels through Barcelona, delving into various archives to understand the character, put himself in his shoes and bring him to life. Through fiction, the protagonists of this story speak. Not only Ildefons Cerdà, but also the voices of Josep Bosch i Mustick, his banker father-in-law who encouraged him to leave the engineering corps to dedicate himself to building the Eixample of Barcelona; Miquel Garriga, municipal architect and contemporary antagonist of Cerdà, and Isabel Serra, a working woman and widow of one of the Eixample workers whom Cerdà recognized in his will. They all help to understand how life was in the Barcelona of 1850. In this journey of discovery, Anna Chàvez, the researcher who has worked the most on Cerdà's personal archives, also participates; Daniel Cortijo, a historian who shows the problems of Barcelona 200 years ago; Teresa Navas, professor of urban planning, who talks about the academic and political side of Ildefons Cerdà; engineer Francesc Magrinyà, who discovers the most relevant contributions of his work, and architect Vicente Guallart, who shows the real scope of Cerdà's plans.
