History
José Maria Nunes (Faro, Portugal, 1930 - Barcelona, March 23, 2010) was a Spanish-Portuguese filmmaker and writer.
In 1942, he emigrated with his family to Spain, soon after definitively establishing himself in Barcelona, city of residence until his death. Interested in the world of cinema, in the 50s began a very large trip in several offices of the Catalan film industry, working for Enrique Gómez, Ignacio Farrés Iquino or Joan Lladó.
His artistic activity was not limited to the director of cinema, and also included writing essays, screenplays for other filmmakers, painting and even incursions as an actor in the films of his friends Jordi Cadena, Alfonso Ungría and Carlos Atanes.

Writer
A man explains his suicide, long meditated, as a manifestation of protest against the time in which he has lived. He tries to make an apology for the freedom that he has not been able to achieve, despite his permanent rebellion, only in some occasions when he has loved, with the few women he has had, with the friendship of a few friends and with the family of which only the father remains. He is happy when he knows that he will be released and he will achieve the absolute freedom so desired. Until the last moment, he retains the irony and a subtle humor.

Himself
How the cinema industry does not respect the author's work as it was conceived, how manipulates the motion pictures in order to make them easier to watch by an undemanding audience or even how mutilates them to adapt the original formats and runtimes to the restrictive frame of the television screen and the abusive requirements of advertising. (Followed by “Filmmakers in Action.”)

Two lovers, a man and a woman, meet and separate in a timeless space.
Other
An unprejudiced portrait of Spanish folklore and a crude analysis in black and white of its intimate relationship with atavism and superstition, with violence and pain, with blood and death; a story of terror, a journey to the most sinister and ancestral Spain; the one that lived far from the most visited tourist destinations, from the economic miracle and unstoppable progress, relentlessly promoted by the Franco regime during the sixties.

A successful actress with three children takes an artist lover to fill a void in her life. This avant garde feature illustrates the alienation of an individual who is lonely despite the wealth and fame her career has brought to her. Jose Maria Nunes wrote the screenplay which relies heavily on verbiage and philosophical symbolism.

Director
The film has no clear plot. It deals with the reactions of an older man and a young woman to the news stories that occur in 1968: the May student protests, Vietnam, Biafra. It is scattered, apparently disconnected. The characters find themselves in illogical situations: in a train cemetery, in a ruined house where some young people edit a journal. There is no sound of steps, and doors, when opened or closed, make no sound.
