Ignasi M. es un documental, pero podría ser una comedia agridulce. Ventura Pons sigue las conversaciones que Ignasi Millet–un famoso museólogo–, mantiene con su familia y amigos sobre su enfermedad
–es seropositivo–, su homosexualidad, su peculiar familia, el nacionalismo catalán y la crisis económica
española. Ignasi vive tiempos dramáticos: los años de bonanza económica terminaron, su casa está hipotecada, los bancos amenazan embargarlo, está enfermo y participa de un programa de ensayo clínico,
su padre intentó suicidarse, su ex-mujer ha quedado parapléjica, está en silla de ruedas y ha descubierto
que es lesbiana. Sus dos hijos están en Londres adonde se fueron de okupas pero encontraron el éxito
profesional, aunque a uno de ellos se le ha dado por la religión… El panorama es extremo, pero Ignasi
tiene valentía y humor de sobra. Un documental sobre un hombre y su entorno, que opera como un una
mirada ácida y crítica de la España de hoy.
Ignasi M. is a documentary, but it could very well be a bittersweet comedy. Ventura Pons follows the conversations that Ignasi Millet –famous museologist- carries out with his family and friends, regarding his
disease –he is HIV-positive-, his homosexuality, his peculiar family, Catalan nationalism, and the Spanish
economic crisis. Ignasi is going through dramatic times: the years of economic prosperity are over, he
has a mortgage, banks are threatening with seizing his possessions, he is sick and he is participating in
a new clinical trial, his father attempted suicide, his ex-wife is now a paraplegic, on a wheelchair and has
discovered she is a lesbian. His two sons are in London, where they arrived as squatters but have now
found professional success, although one of them became religious… The outlook is extreme, but Ignasi
has courage and humor to give away. This is a documentary about a man and his surroundings, which
works as an acid and critical look at the Spain of today.
