Space A Barcelona

In the slow machinery of migration, a single promise can hold the weight of a future.

An appointment with a lawyer, sometimes arranged only through someone’s word, a message, or a fleeting contact, becomes a fragile thread tying hope to time.

Days stretch into weeks of waiting, every hour measured against uncertainty. Trust, in this context, is both necessary and perilous: to believe another’s word is to suspend disbelief, to let hope occupy the space where institutions have failed.

When that promise is kept, time briefly aligns with possibility; when it collapses, the waiting resumes; longer, heavier, more silent.

Bureaucracy turns trust into currency, and faith into survival.

In this precarious rhythm, The Appointment speaks to the delicate balance between reliance and resignation, revealing how, for many migrants, a single word can momentarily restore the horizon of hope… or erase it entirely.
