“An acerbic and provocative series, in which creators Berta Prieto and Belén Barenys play their own life excessively. Self-Defense reinvents the serial narrative and form to paint an uncompromising portrait of a lost generation: the Gen Z. The heir of Girls is Spanish!”
“Autodefensa” is a documentary-like work about two friends in their 20s described as a mash of Lena Dunham’s “Girls,” Larry Clark’s “Kids” and the works of Lars von Trier.
