Fito Páez: The World Within a Song

2026 · Documentary, Music

A documentary film that observes, listens to, and interacts with Fito Páez from a place of profound intimacy. The camera, almost invisible, witnesses his every move, accompanying him for over a year during recordings, rehearsals, tours, and performances in major cities across Latin America, Europe, and the United States. It is also a journey through the life of one of the greatest Spanish-language artists: his loves and heartbreaks, children and friendships, excesses, tragedies, failures, and successes.
