You are sitting in your seat at the cinema and suddenly a gust of cold wind blows your hair. The seat vibrates and a wave of Hiroshima-style heat washes over you. A couple more earthquakes, and a geyser-like stream of water splashes over you. At any moment you expect your cell phone to ring with the Generalitat alarms. But no, breathe. You are simply in a film session with 4DX technology.

In total, around twenty effects synchronized with what is happening on the screen: snowflakes, gusts of icy wind, water drops and even, olfactory stimulation.
