Barcelona Socialites

This is the private life of a high society family, the Baladias, showcasing the golden years of a cosmopolitan and cultivated bourgeoisie. A personal and ironic portrait of Twentieth Century Barcelona through the memories of one of its heirs, Javier Baladía. Remarkable families, prolific entrepreneurs, exquisite, fearful and wasteful individuals. We will discover with all of them their passion and indifference. We will discover the Barcelona which attracted Nijinsky, Barbara Hutton, Richard Strauss, Gardel. And we will revisit the city in which architects such as Gaudí or Puig i Cadafalch competed to design buildings for the wealthiest and managed to dazzle the world.
