The movie is filmed as if it were a Mandala, Sanskrit term which designates the symbolic circular diagrams characteristic of Hindu and Buddhist thought. Performer and co-writer is the Jinpa Gyamtso Lama, born in Terrassa, a monk since 1989 and director of several Tibetan Buddhist centers in Spain. The camera accompanies a group of friends who emerge from their retreat to take a trip to India. There, the seemingly unalterable everyday life show not being an impediment to personal searches.

The Spain that fades. We assist to the painting of a family portrait that reveals a generation away: our elders. Two survivors of the civil war and postwar tell us about their most intimate secrets, which are none other than the commitment to life. Another view of our collective memory ...

A powerful international army assigns a regiment the task of guarding a mysterious man, held in a maximum security prison in the middle of the desert. Soldier Salome, daughter of Commander Antipas, becomes obsessed with him... Eros and Thanatos together reminding us that truth is based on beauty and love.

This colourful feature debut from experienced producer Luis Miñarro offers an almost hallucinatory look at the world of Amadeo of Savoy, who was king of an ungovernable Spain for two years around 1870. This intriguing episode is transformed into a plea for beauty, creativity and joy. The film functions as a metaphor for contemporary Spain and its ongoing state of crisis.

Lluís Miñarro directs the beloved Rosa Novell in this orally narrated short film, which was the actress's first work in front of a camera.
