The lower part of Barcelona’s best district is a quiet and stately neighbourhood. The Bigger, the Better is based on true events seen and heard by the walls of The house of the Columns, by the building across the street and the the Dominican church. The furthest we’ll go is the Plaça Catalunya, the cascading fountain next to the Catalan Parliament building and the Born District.
​
An ensemble comedy: a penniless aristocrat with strong religious convictions, his left-wing daughter who’s always on his case, the grand dame with a turbulent past, the naughty Dominican friar, who is friends with a great Cuban singer but he’s not able to get involved with a Caribbean mulata, the mother of a black-as-coal pro-Catalan independence son. And there are the two concierges from Valencia who tell each other everything; the Scottish woman, daughter of the Glasgow train robber, hidden behind three personalities, languages and a bunch of passports; her perfidious nephew who is after her with his handsome Russian lover; the American twins on the lookout for young boys; the lesbian owner of a hip bar; a former Spanish secret service agent, hidden in the Catalan police and exposed by a Valencian friend… The Catalan capital’s multiculturalism, Barcelona, has a lot to offer. So therefore, The Bigger, the Better! Sabates Grosses!
