Paper Tigers (Tigres de papel)

Fundamentally, Tigres de papel (Paper Tigers, Fernando Colomo, 1977) portrays how people understood politics in the 1970s after the arrival of democracy. It reveals the contradictions of those youngsters who, for the first time in a very long time, experienced freed and had to live up to the circumstances and be modern, even though they were ill equiped to understand modernity. This generation is all talk and no action. They seem to run out of steam, babbling their way through events, and forget to be present.
