Synopsis

Spoiler shield

A charming and meditative ode to the city of Madrid, where Guzmán studied directing and filmmaking during the 1960s, and escaped to from Chile after the military coup. Traveling through the streets of contemporary Madrid, Guzmán’s essayistic film freely draws inspiration from the landmarks, the music, the people, and the culture to evoke experiences, reflections, and insights in order to relate the nature of his historical and personal connection to the city.
