Mario Gas
Jordi Mollà, Pere Ponce
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.

Основываясь на работе Альваро Кункьиро, Синь-велло, Синдбад стал больше сказочным. Синдбад, более чем что-либо еще, необыкновенный рассказчик, человек, который привлекает своих собеседников из опыта своих прошлых путешествий, будь то в реальном мире или во вселенной воображения и фантазии. Он делится своими волшебными знаниями, своим ежедневным кофе и домино в таверне, принадлежащей Мансуру, овдовевшему человеку, который воспитывает Сару свою дочь, возрастом от десяти до тринадцати годами. У Синдбада очень тесные и ласковые отношения с Сарой. Ему нравится разговаривать с маленькой девочкой и рассказывать ей сказочные истории. Он иногда сопровождает её в школу, учит морским наукам о звёздах, делится своими картами с ней и т.д.
