Fernando Fernán Gómez (1921-2007), actor, writer, playwright and film director, was for decades one of the most important figures in Spanish culture. His close friends and relatives reveal another facet in which he stood out above all: that of being an excellent conversationalist, capable of hypnotizing and seducing those who listened to him.

An account of the life and work of Luis 'Tip' Sánchez Polack (1926-1999) and José Luis Coll (1931-2007), a peculiar pair of comedians who, between 1967 and 1995, followed the twisted path of Spanish absurdist humor, of long tradition, later followed by many others.

An account of the life and work, in his own words, of José Sacristán, one of the best Spanish actors of all time.

Juan Goytisolo, the most recent recipient of the Cervantes Prize at the time, is one of the great figures of Spanish literature. This documentary traces his journey south, first through Spain and then Morocco, exploring the emotional and intellectual experiences that shaped his life and work. Through successive ruptures and reinventions, it reveals how Goytisolo became an essential figure in Spanish and world culture.

In Ricardo Bofill: The Blank Page, his works take centre stage. Scattered across the world, they reflect his self-constructed philosophy: from the freedom embodied by Walden 7 to the high-tech design of Barcelona Airport, passing through the postmodernism of the Antigone district in Montpellier and the genius loci of Shiseido’s headquarters in Tokyo. Above all, however, the film gives Bofill himself a voice, as he left behind another, little-explored legacy in the archives of television: interviews and recordings spanning several decades. Bofill seen through Bofill’s own eyes: he tells us about his evolution, what changes and what endures, what shapes him and what weighs him down. His account is confirmed — or challenged — by those who knew him, from his immediate family to his extended family: the friends and collaborators who formed part of his Taller de Arquitectura.

For Joan Brossa (Barcelona, 1919–1998), poetry was an open adventure spanning literature, theatre, cinema, visual art, object art and sculpture. *Brossa, a Walkable Poet* focuses on his visual work while exploring his other creative fields. Through archival interviews and reflections from RTVE, alongside testimonies from those who shared his artistic journey, the documentary portrays Brossa at the height of his recognition as a visual artist. He first gained attention as part of the avant-garde group surrounding the magazine *Dau al Set*, alongside Antoni Tàpies, Joan Ponç and Arnau Puig. Despite later recognition, success did not always come in the fields he loved most. As Joan Brossa Foundation director Glòria Bordons and anthologist Manel Guerrero explain, he never abandoned literary poetry. He also pursued theatre for years without achieving the response he hoped for. Composer Carles Santos recalls the early reactions to his performances.
