The documentary film by director Bartomeu Vilà relives the experiences of one of the last cinematographers of the Republic, Joan Mariné, exceptional witness to a moment in the history of Catalan cinema that, despite the economic precariousness, the lack of means and the difficult international circumstances, was characterized by its high production, never surpassed, and its innovation in forms and contents.
