THE LEMMING PROJECT

A highly topical, gripping thriller about how global network corporations enslave people to the core.


A former sugar factory in Andalusia – today the headquarters of the company Clean Content. This is where Alejandro works, wiping pornography, hate and violence from the internet for eight hours a day. A brutal job. When one of his colleagues kills herself, Alejandro quickly realizes that there is more to this death. Then images appear on his screen that awaken buried memories and send his mother into a panic. Someone is trying to scare him. But Alejandro won’t allow himself to be intimidated. Soon he finds himself in front of a grave from the Franco era, and that is just the beginning of the search. With each turn it becomes more dangerous because Alejandro’s invisible enemies are powerful – they are able to penetrate people’s souls.
