Ramón Masats: el ojo irónico

Documentary film about stand-up comedian Eugenio.

José Manuel Ibar, Urtain, was a unique case in world boxing. Franco was looking for an idol for this sport and found a champion of stone lifting in Basque Country, who had never considered stepping into a ring. He became a myth and the most popular Spanish athlete of the seventies, but after leaving boxing, that good man lost everything. Alcoholic, ruined and forgotten, he ended up jumping into the void from his tenth floor apartment in Madrid. From heaven to hell the boxing ring.

The fantastic story of how in 1970 the Spanish singer Raphael became a renowned artist in the Soviet Union, where he held concerts that attracted huge crowds, despite the Cold War and the systematic veto that the authorities normally imposed on artists from the other side of the implacable Iron Curtain.
