As a young man, the legendary Spanish filmmaker Carlos Saura did not quite know what he would like to become: motorcycle racer, flamenco dancer, or photographer. 60 years, 40 films, and numerous film awards later, his passion for photography runs like a thread through his life.
The documentary follows publishers Gerhard Steidl and Hans Meinke as they set out to release the largely unknown photo oeuvre of Carlos Saura in form of a book. They discover an early phase in Saura’s photography revealing Spain of the ’50s in a new light: impressive black-and-white images of landscapes, villages, culture, and the people of that time beyond the Franco propaganda.
