What happens

El quart regne. El regne dels plàstics (títol original en castellà: El cuarto reino. El reino de los plásticos) és una pel·lícula documental espanyola del 2019 dirigida per Àlex Lora i Cercós i Adán Aliaga i produït per Jaibo Films, Àlex Lora i Isa Feliu. Es van recollir 400 hores de gravació durant tres anys sense un guió clarament establert. La denúncia ecològica és implícita, tot i que no aspira a retratar la dimensió del desastre, sinó que ofereix un inusual retrat paisatgístic i humà d'un espai. Els subtítols de l'obra foren traduïts al català. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
