On her return to Spain, Ripoll shot her third feature film UTOPIA, which enters the terrain of the fantastic thriller and premiered in 2003. In Barcelona she then directed '''YOUR LIFE IN 65’''', a film based on the play by Albert Espinosa. This film was invited to numerous festivals, including the AFI Los Angeles Film Festival and the Stockholm International Film Festival and was another success in Spain.[citation needed] For Spanish television (TVE) she directed FAME, EVERYTHING FOR A DREAM and then turned to producing as well as directing CHROMOSOME 5, a documentary for TVE.
