Synopsis

Eloy de la Iglesia, a combative chronicler against censorship who dedicated part of his filmography to showing the darker side of the Transition, focusing on marginality, crime, and substance abuse, ended up succumbing to drug addiction and was forgotten for more than a decade. Urresti approaches the persona of a courageous filmmaker whose beginnings as an enfant terrible led him to investigate the limits of freedom of expression.
