Cinta negra is proof that we are in the presence of a new and powerful voice in which, although the classics (Orwell, Swift…) resonate, his vision of the world is unique.
Cinta negra is a tremendously funny parody of the world of big business and social climbing. A sketch of how some corporations promote cult-like structures in which access to the top of the chain of command is synonymous with ascent to the heavens.
The black belt is the highest professional recognition to which one can aspire in Soluciones, a modern company dedicated to providing solutions on demand. A dedication – a service on the rise – in this age of limitless inventiveness.
The characters who come to life in Cinta negra – moulded in the sand of a world of ruthless professional and emotional competition, full of affective deficiencies – and the situations in which they develop their abilities – the working methods of Soluciones, the workshop for training the poor through art, etc. – weave a lucid, agile and ironic story that dissects the business world and everyday life with great tact.
