It has been more than four years since the death of Munir and Jéssica in the shantytown of Montcada i Reixac. In this time, however, the situation of the settlement has not changed at all and its inhabitants continue to live in poverty between the Besòs river and the BV-5001 road, invisible to the administrations despite the tragedy. That day in January 2022 it was cold, the couple lit a fire to warm themselves and died of asphyxiation inside their makeshift home, leaving three children orphaned. The arrival of a new summer does not improve the neighbors' outlook, as with the rising temperatures they have to seek refuge outside the shack—built with sheet metal or materials not very resistant—when the sun beats down the hardest and makes the air inside unbreathable. This is the case of a man resting in the shade without a shirt. He does not want to give his name, nor have his photograph taken and be interviewed, he is tired of reporting the situation and angry about the lack of help they have received: "They died right next door and everything remains the same; I don't want to talk to you because it will be useless".

As October 31st approaches, two camps emerge: those who are dying to pull their costumes out of the closet to celebrate Halloween, and those who prefer to stay home eating panellets, chestnuts, and sweet potatoes. In Montcada i Reixac, there are all sorts of people, but it seems the scales tip towards the spooky celebrations: when Halloween arrives, an entire neighborhood transforms into a movie set worthy of... Nightmare on Elm StreetThe houses in the Terra Nostra neighborhood are filled with pumpkins, haunted tunnels, door-to-door screams and sugared almonds, and above all, a chilling atmosphere.

First year of bittersweet balance in Montcada i Reixac compared to the already Historic underground railway tracks. After decades of waiting for the start of these works, the local council reported at the end of January the appearance of significant cracks in some floors of up to three different buildings in the Can Sant Joan neighbourhood, which is located within the area affected by the R2 underground works. These are gaps in the ceiling, floor and walls that in some cases even allow a glimpse of the street or adjacent neighbours.
