The documentary that challenges generational stereotypes
Within the framework of the prestigious Cannes Festival, the filmmaker Gala Hernández has presented his most recent work, ‘+10K’. This half -hour documentary short film chronicles the life of Pol Gascó, a 21 -year -old who lives in Segur de Calafell with his grandmother and who dares to dream of great, with the aim of winning 10,000 euros per month.
One year of tracking: Pol life on screen
For a year and a half, Hernández has been next to the Pol, exploring his aspirations and his day to day life. The young man invests in cryptocurrencies, attends motivational talks and is looking for advice from online experts. The director seeks to offer an empathetic and comprehensive view of a generational context that is familiar to her, and which seeks to capture the hopes and concerns of a youth immersed in today’s capitalism.
A reflection of contemporary society
The film, which has been selected in the fifteen filmmakers, explores the influence of the financial education platforms that have proliferated in Spain for the last 15 years. Hernández interrogates the methods used by young people to set future goals in a world that often seems adverse.
The personal connection between director and protagonist
Hernández confesses that he felt a deep empathy for the Pol, whom he considers to be a sensitive and generous young man. Its history is a testimony of the struggles and aspirations of a generation marked by the economic crisis of 2008, which has lived in an environment of precarious work and uncertainty.
A message of hope and authentic motivation
The documentary seeks to convey to the viewers the importance of understanding young people as the Pol, as well as their desire to make their ambitions a reality. Through social networks, Pol hopes to inspire others to pursue their goals with authenticity.
Demystifying the cryptocurrencies
In a conversation with ACN, the Pol expresses its frustration with the negative perception that surrounds the world of cryptocurrencies, which is often considered a taboo subject. He wants to show that everyone can have dreams and that it is possible to move towards a better life.
Their life philosophy
With a motto that resonates with his personal philosophy, ‘I do what I want and not what they force me to do’, Pol shares his yearnings: generating income through the internet, traveling around the world and enjoying moments with his grandmother. Although he cannot predict what his life will be like in ten years, his vision of the future is based on personal investment and the ability to learn to grow his resources.
