Actors and filmmakers revisit the career of José María Forqué, a director whose name is familiar through the awards that honour him but whose work is less widely known. His own voice joins their recollections in a portrait of his approach to filmmaking and his place in Spanish popular cinema.

How does the vision of the brilliant Spanish filmmaker Luis García Berlanga (1921-2010) remain relevant in a time whose popular culture has little to do with his own? Since to understand the secrets of an artist it is essential to know the person behind, his family, his friends, his collaborators, as well as prestigious filmmakers and actors trace a collective portrait of a creator as singular as he is universal.
