Miguel Gila (1919-2001) was a Spanish actor and stand-up comedian, famous for his surreal phone conversations with imaginary people, and a skillful cartoonist; an idolized star, a king of laughter.
In Spain, the worst known pandemic decimated the population, with 80% mortality among children. Spain was half empty. There are documents from the time that give us testimony, but why do we hardly know anything about this "Spanish flu"? Surely his study and knowledge would have helped us correct errors in later pandemics.
A vindication of the role of the technicians and artists who made spaghetti western genre possible, and a walk through the landscapes that made it possible to recreate in Spain, mainly in the desert of Almería, hundreds of adventures set in the remote American Far West.
