Synopsis:

A Goya award for best documentary in 2016. The film just follows the lives of a group of people, each of them in a different part of the planet and each of them having different reasons to feel humiliated. A Japanese businessman in Tokio whose life revolves around consumerism and working for his company. A sub-Saharan community in Monte Gurugú, on the north coast of Africa that risk their lives again and again trying to cross to “the first world”. A family in Madrid, that in spite of their efforts to have a “normal” life, as it’s understood by the system, ends up being evicted. Three stories of contradictions that take place in different parts of the world. And centre to all these, like a spinal column, the lucid and ingenious speech of the former Uruguayan president, José Alberto Mujica. Fragile Balance doesn’t try to teach or describe, just shows what’s there, what’s happening.
