Synopsis
Fóra (Out) investigates the hidden stories of a place: the premises of the Psychiatric Hospital of Conxo. The film creates a sort of alternate current between the images of the institution and several voices that connect the stories lingering in the building and the reading of literary excerpts and documentary sources with strong echoes in the present day. Here the history of Conxo ―which mirrors that of Compostela― is unravelled into little stories that stress the need for taking a closer look at certain areas erased from the urban memory and their social meaning.
