Ramon Térmens focuses on the Chinese community in Catalonia in 'Black Society'

These days in Barcelona, ​​Badalona, ​​Sant Adrià de Besòs and Santa Coloma de Gramenet, Ramon Térmens directs black society, a feature film based on the novel of the same name by Andreu Martín, produced by Segarra Films with the participation of TV3.

Based on the homonymous novel by Andreu Martín and with a script by Daniel Faraldo and Ramon Térmens, the film has a cast led by Alberto Jo Lee, Chacha Huang, Daniel Faraldo, Marcos Zan, Montse German, Abel Folk, and María Galiana, among others.

Love, ambition, redemption, revenge... all these concepts are mixed in black society, the film that for the first time focuses on the Chinese community in Catalonia.

"Yes, we mix noir genre with social cinema. A look at people who live in neighborhoods where they have no option to progress," explains the film's director, Ramon Térmens. "And, in this case, our protagonists do a pretty crazy act, which is to rob the Chinese mafia. From there a story that doesn't stop follows. Rather than being a film about the robbery, or its preparation, it opts for the emotional point of view and focuses on the characters and what has led them to that moment."

“It is the film with the greatest representation of the Chinese community in current cinema,” he explains. Alberto Jo Lee, the leading actor. “And with real characters far from humorous topics.”

Filmed in Catalan, Spanish and Mandarin over 6 weeks, the locations are distributed between Barcelona, ​​Badalona, ​​Santa Coloma and Sant Adrià de Besòs, with landscapes such as the port, the three chimneys, the Montjuïc cemetery, the Ciudadela park or the Chinatown of Badalona, ​​which acquire great importance over the course of the film.
