Luis Buñuel, the forefather of surrealist cinema, made his mark on film history with groundbreaking and uncompromising masterpieces such as "An Andalusian Dog", "The Forgotten" and "The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie".
In his film essay, Javier Espada, founding director of the Luis Buñuel Museum in his Spanish hometown of Calanda, interweaves film, text and image quotations and makes the biographical, artistic and religious experiences and influences that shaped one of the most important directors of the 20th century comprehensible.
