Synopsis: 

Poet, musician, convict and cursed, drug addict, graphic artist, and iconoclastic painter Josep Sales Coderch (1954-1994), Pepe Sales to his friends, was all of those things and some more. His life, as short as it was, was intense. He was a great celebration with overtones of delirium and martyrdom. The director, Lulú Martorell, a good friend and traveling companion of Sales, compiled some home recordings and videos made for the TVE program Glasnost and began to work alongside the musician Albert Pla, a good connoisseur and admirer of Sales' work. The result is this stimulating documentary, almost a "self-portrait", according to the authors, which introduces us to a character as free as he is seductive, who lived a time of effervescence and agitation in which everything seemed possible, even his delirious universe.
