SYNOPSIS
The documentary offers a personal look at the artistic and life journey of one of the most important ceramicists of all time, inspired by great masters such as Llorenç Artigas and Antoni Cumella, and supported by the empathy and friendship of renowned artists like Joan Miró, Camilo José Cela, Blai Bonet, and Baltasar Porcel.
It provides an intimate and honest portrait of Lluís Castaldo, a restless and innovative creator, a researcher, and a revolutionary. The film invites viewers on a sincere journey, free of excess and self-indulgence, through the story of an artist recognized nationally and internationally, who has never ceased to explore and create new pieces and works. A pioneer in integrating ceramics into architecture and in the distinctive frontality of his thrown pieces, he shapes and expands them to unexpected limits.
