El fuego y el soñador (2005)

A director grapples with his actors while searching for a specific type of performer, only to find unexpected love. Presented as a personal reflection, he recounts memories from his life and scenes from his film. The movie centers on an 19th-century poet experiencing the suffering of the 20th. The film pays homage to his lineage, particularly his Piedmontese grandmother, and to influences like actress Bárbara Mugica and filmmaker Luchino Visconti.
