Circuit (2010)

Mía is applying for a job as a photographer in Vic's studio, but she manages to show up when the hip, famous pro is having a really bad day: his model girlfriend Ana has just dumped him. He decides to leave Barcelona for 1,000 days and suggests that Mía take his place. This 1,000-day stint sets in motion all kinds of mini-stories, tales of love and romantic misadventure, creating concentric circles which fleetingly fill Vic's studio with the colorful characters who turn up for various photo shoots, modeling work and castings. The models let themselves be hauled through an artificially-created world, putting work before love, yet also seeking affection in an unreal world. "Circuit" soaks up the spirit of Barcelona and draws on its distinction as a major center of the avant-garde, architecture, photography, painting, and art in general. The film constructs a visually polished, modern portrait of the city, incorporating a series of interactive music and dance numbers, fashion shows, and 3D animation.
