- Synopsis
- Albert, a young man aged 21, is diagnosed with his third cancer and this time he is determined to battle it again, but in his own way.
  
  With nothing but a camera, he starts recording his own experiences and explaining what he is going through, and so “Vivir a Contracorriente” is born.
  “Vivir a Contracorriente” ("Living against the tide") promptly becomes a social movement that breaks with the existing taboos around cancer and shares a new perspective of the disease with the world, a new way of facing cancer based on communication, a healthy lifestyle and, especially, an insatiable will to live, instead of fighting to survive on a bed.
  
  This Internet-spread social phenomenon will bring Albert's fight to the hearts of thousands of people worldwide.
