"If any man shall add to these things, God shall add unto him the plagues written in this book.

Children at the V-tex school in Kortrijk, Belgium, teach Maria Jerez Dutch. The roles and economics of education change: 32 children teach one adult learner. But during this role reversal, the focus is not on the symmetrical transfer of power, but on the establishment of a situation of fragility for all parties. It is about establishing a space where no one knows. This documentary pays attention to the moments when we name something for the first time; to the thinking behind the language; to the intrinsic politics in learning processes; to collaborative teaching methods; to misunderstandings as spaces of opportunity; to the relationship with someone who comes from another world; a kind of alien who lands in the school.

Evangelio mayor is almost entirely shot in the building which was being renovated in Madrid between 2019 and 2020 to house the Josete Massa LGTBIQ+ public residential care home for the elderly, the first of its kind in the world. The film takes advantage of the site under transformation to stage two things. The first is the lucid and harsh testimony of Ramón Barreiro, struck by AIDS in the early eighties and a survivor after many years of struggle and serious aftereffects. The second, a series of dialogues taken from the four Gospels, in which elderly members of the LGTBIQ+ community cite “the old words anew and in a new way”, as one of the notices which can be read at the beginning of the film states. Provocation is by no means the primary intention behind showing them; nor are they composed of irony. Rather, the film understands that the biblical text, as the basis for rituals and stories shared by generations, is a vast framework or grand code which can be harnessed dramatically.

I get home late from my underpaid job. I open the fridge and remember that I didn't have the time to cook for today or buy any groceries. It's the end of the month and I can't afford eating out. I lustily scan my flat mates' shelves, but there's nothing I can steal without it being too noticeable. I end up boiling some pasta, pour some pesto sauce on top of it, and take the plate to my room. Filled with posters, pictures, and drawings, my wall becomes a window. I close my eyes, I'm not there anymore -I'm in a different time, somewhe-re not here.
