Description

Dalmau Sala lives in a city torn apart by social unrest. Barcelona, 1901, is a place of great turmoil, where the struggles of the poor are starkly contrasted with the opulence of the wealthy. As a young painter, Dalmau finds himself caught between two worlds. His family and the woman he loves, Emma, are committed to fighting for workers' rights, while his work in a ceramics workshop is influenced by a more conservative, bourgeois culture. This powerful story explores themes of love, passion, art, and rebellion in early 20th-century Barcelona. Against the backdrop of social upheaval, Dalmau must navigate his own values and artistic identity, all while confronting the darkness of his past and the temptation of wealth and fame. Through Dalmau's journey, we see the city come alive with the Modernist movement, its innovative architecture and art reflecting the hopes and fears of a generation.
