Luis López Carrasco in Benidorm.From director Luis López Carrasco's diary, just after finishing his film El Futuro.October 9, 2012. Benidorm.This morning we shot the sunrise from the neon cross. It’s the first thing we’ve shot since we got to Benidorm. The fact that we shot El Futuro last week is really hitting us now, everyone is exhausted.

It flashed from the woodwork and the walls; it smote him with an awful, total power, as if generated by a vast mill. It rose from the floor, up out of the tattered gray wall-to-wall carpeting. It unleashed itself from the broken and semi-broken appliances in the kitchen, the dead machines which hadn’t worked in all the time Isidore had lived here.
