Synopsis: 

Christopher Lee plays an ordinary man who walks through Barcelona and causes mutual perplexity between an actor decontextualized from his usual film image and the look of a foreigner on the Spanish reality of the time.

The film is a strange audiovisual poem – with a script by Brossa and Carles Santos providing the essential sound counterpoint – and a rigorous film investigation.
