Laura García Lorca

L'acteur Jeremy Irons se lance dans un voyage épique à travers les salles du musée du Prado à Madrid, en Espagne, deux cents ans après son inauguration, le long de couloirs où des milliers de chefs-d'œuvre de tous les temps racontent la vie des souverains et des gens du peuple, et des histoires sur les périodes de guerre et de folie et les périodes de paix et de bonheur ; parce que, comme le disait Goya, l'imagination, la mère des arts, produit des monstres impossibles, mais aussi des merveilles indicibles.

Documentary about the revolutionary flamenco-rock album "Omega", composed by maestro Enrique Morente and the Granada group Lagartija Nick in 1996. A groundbreaking album with great impact on the national and international music scene in which Morente adapted songs by the singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen and he put music to poems by Federico García-Lorca.

Chavela Vargas and Federico García Lorca are the main characters of this story. Poetry and music are the places of their meetings. Chavela explains when he lived in the same room where Federico García Lorca lived decades ago, was visited by a bird that contained the soul of the Spanish poet. In her last year of life, Chavela fulfills her last wish: to make a tribute to Spanish poet and finally meet him in the ranks of death. The Nightingale and the Night is a documentary that chronicles the transition from Chavela life to death, her union with Federico, dissolving the borders between reality and dreams.

Dans ce film d'anthologie, une actrice trompe son mari autrefois célèbre, un couple marié va bien trop loin et un antiquaire tombe amoureux d'un jeune homme.

Inspired by an exclusive interview and performance footage of Chavela Vargas shot in 1991 and guided by her unique voice, the film weaves an arresting portrait of a woman who dared to dress, speak, sing, and dream her unique life into being.
