Mathius Marvellous Shop

Mathius Marvellous Shop (MMS) is a futuristic comedy with a strong feminist and experimental character that crosses the thin line between good and evil from a new perspective. The great questions of life are deale through a dystopian society in which costumbrism, modernity and magic coexist.

We speak of MMS as a feminist project because it is a film of feminist women and men. MMS puts feminism at the centre of the story by building a multiple female character where the great protagonist and the secondary female roles, tackling problems, perspectives and options of different women in different generations. The legend of spanish independent and feminist cinema, Cecilia Bartolome, is inspiration and seed in the reality and fiction of MMS. We use some of her work from the 80´s and she plays one of the funniest roles in a key scene of the movie.

We speak of MMS as an experimental project understanding that the central experiment is the creation of a comedy - a priori conventional - crossed by a string of avant-garde treatments ranging from interpretation, the treatment of set art, visual effects, music, fashion, architecture and even comedy itself. The result is a multidisciplinary with a common purpose - to reflect on utopian societies and dystopia, on the limits of action for the supposed common good and the final essence of good and evil.
