El cónsul de Sodoma é uma fascinante viagem através da vida de Jaime Gil de Biedma (1929-1990), um dos poetas mais influentes da segunda metade do século XX. Sua vida é a história de uma contradição: por um lado, pertence à nobreza e é executivo de uma multinacional, por outro lado, vive seu papel como poeta e homossexual que se rebela contra o seu ambiente familiar e sua história. Sexo, amor, literatura e luta política são as constantes de uma vida que atravessa uma época de rebeldia, violência e descobrimento. É também um retrato da Barcelona dos anos 60, onde desfilam personagens emblemáticos da cultura e da sociedade catalã progressista, conhecida como a “Gauche Divine”.
Yacine is in his 30s, of Algerian origins, and has come to Paris looking for inner peace. A playful and poetic quest leads him via all kinds of strange encounters to an increasingly surrealist world and to Andalusia: a state of mind.
Mario Gas directed this music-themed Spanish drama set in Barcelona of the mid-'80s. When famed composer Lluis Doria (Laurent Terzieff) visits a transvestite club, he learns his lifelong friend Albert Rossell (Serge Reggiani) is the house pianist. A flashback takes the tale four decades into the past where the younger Rossell (Pere Ponce) rejoins Teresa (Paulina Galvez) after having spent years in prison for helping anti-Franco anarchists. The story continues into Paris of the '30s, the period when Doria and Rossell first met, sharing a mutual interest in music and Teresa, before civil war sent them in different directions.
