Synopsis

The Canarian Benito Pérez-Galdós died in Madrid on January the 4th, 1920. Right moment for this feature film documentary with a cinematographic style focused on the most personal facet (shy, cartoonist, politician, lover, playwright, candidate for Nobel…) of an extraordinary writer who revolutionized the narrative of the 19th’s second half and the beginning of the 20th century, a very difficult and exciting times.
