Synopsis
Director
Program

Through cassette recordings of his voice and the super8 films of his travels, film shoots and festivals he would attend despite his political engagement as a screen idol of the Franco era, Paco Rabal (Best Actor Award at the first San Sebastian Festival in 1953 and Donostia Award in 2001) looks back at his life, regrets and contradictions. An impressive list of films recalling the time of his death in Bordeaux, like Goya, the man he played several times. In San Sebastián, he enjoyed success alongside Rafael Gil, Lucas Demare, León Klimovsky, Pedro Olea and Jaime de Armiñán.
