Once the beating heart of Beijing’s steel industry, Shougang was a leviathan forged from iron and fire. Its blast furnaces once echoed with labour and ambition, embodying the raw force of China’s industrial might. Today, these same structures are repurposed into spaces of digital innovation and Olympic legacy, marking one of the most ambitious urban transformations in modern China. This documentary traces the metamorphosis of Shougang Park through three poetic chapters: its industrial past, the deliberate reinvention of its architecture, and its re-emergence as a tech-driven ecosystem. Through immersive visuals and the voices of those who once toiled within its furnaces and those now forging its future, The Pulse Beneath the Steel is more than a portrait of place. It is a meditation on memory and transformation at the heart of a city that bridges heritage and modernity.

A glimpse into the parkour journey of Malik Osborn.
Pedro is Mallorcan, born to a mother from Burgos and a father from Mallorca. Due to his distant relationship with his father, Pedro doesn't fully master Mallorcan as a language. He turns to the works of Damià Huguet to remember his father, as only his poems can fill the void left by his death. The poet's words transport Pedro to his childhood and his roots, even though many of the words are unknown to him, despite them belonging to his language. This becomes the driving force behind the protagonist's search for his own identity, his origins, what it means to be a man, father-son relationships, collective identity, and "mallorquinness". Pedro constantly questions the emotions stirred by Huguet's poetry, and, most importantly, who he is and where he belongs.
