The Spanish animated 80-minute film by Salvador Simó will be shown in the original Spanish and French languages with Chinese and English subtitles.
Synopsis: Paris, 1930. Salvador Dalí and Luis Buñuel are already the main figures of the Surrealist movement. Unexpectedly, Buñuel is left moneyless after the scandal surrounding his film THE GOLDEN AGE. In this difficult situation, he cannot even tackle his next project, a documentary about one of the poorest Spanish regions, Las Hurdes. However, his good friend, sculptor Ramón Acín, buys a lottery ticket with the promise that, if he wins, he will pay for the film. Incredibly, luck is on their side. During the production process, Buñuel is trapped in strange dreams, which jeopardize his creative process and friendship. Memories, illusions and realities are intertwined into his fantasized maze.
A film not to be missed!
