un film di SALVADOR SIMÓ
Dopo lo scandalo suscitato con il suo primo lungometraggio L’âge d’or”, il cineasta Luis Buñuel prende le distanze da Salvador Dalì, con il quale aveva collaborato nei suoi primi lavori. Grazie ad un colpo di fortuna e alla generosità del suo amico Ramón Acín, Luis inizia la lavorazione del documentario Las Hurdes. In una suggestiva combinazione di animazione ed estratti di immagini e musiche dall’opera filmica originaria, Buñuel – Nel Labirinto delle Tartarughe racconta uno spaccato toccante della vita del grande regista, alla ricerca di una sua libera espressione artistica.

1930th, Paris. The film “The Golden Age” cause a social scandal and Luis Buñuel, thinking he was destined to be the surrealism star, does not find support. He is being offered a documentary project about one of the poorest places in Spain, Las Hurdes, but Buñuel has no financial means to produce it. His friend, Ramón Acín, buys a lottery ticket and promising Luis the documentary financing in case he wins it. The ticket is awarded and Ramón fulfills his promise.
