"In VIRUS OF FEAR, Jordi is a swimming instructor in a Barcelona municipal sports complex. He's a good professional, gentle, intuitive, and affectionate. A child he is teaching to swim is terrified of the water and Jordi attempts to calm his fear by kissing him on the cheek. A fear, the water of his pool, that Jordi himself had as child, but not everyone sees the (alleged) kiss in the same way. He is accused of abuse, and in a few hours, undergoes a traumatic, emotional transformation that leads him from innocence to cruel suspicion -- a life under relentless scrutiny. And perhaps, to his own negation as an individual. But, how do those around him react?... A story of a radical humanism. An inconsequential fact becomes a deep social burden. As is occurring internationally with the great success of Miró's play [on which the film is based], I hope that VIRUS OF FEAR, this virus, this fear, will become a metaphor of our times and help us understand." -- Ventura Pons (Montreal World Film Festival)
