José Pérez Ocaña was one of the symbols of the counter-culture in 1970s' Spain. He was of Andalusian origin but adopted Barcelona as his hometown and Las Ramblas as his stage, where he promenaded in drag. He died in 1983, at only 36 . A painter, famous for his Andalusian virgins (et alia), he was a radical and multifaceted artist during the last years of Franco's dictatorship and during the period of transition towards democracy. An inveterate provocateur, he used transvestitism, surreal performances and extreme fetish acts as forms of artistic resistance, and he was a GLBT activist in the struggle for civil rights. This film features the memories of his family members and friends (Nazario, Jesús Garay and Gérard Courant) and rare historical footage from that period, some never previously released.

Short documentary about Carlos Ortúzar's El Cuarto Mundo, sculpture created to be placed in the front of the tower of one of the most important buildings made during the Unidad Popular goverment, the Unctad III building. Commissioned by Salvador Allende to host the Third World Conference of the United Nations, the building was inaugurated on April 3rd, 1972. El Cuarto Mundo was an unprecedented sculptural proposal for its time; its circles moved with the wind and were reflected in a mirror of water, integrating into its surroundings and context. On September 11, 1973, the coup d'état took place in Chile. Days later, the sculpture, along with other works located there, was dismantled and disappeared, with no traces of its parade known to this day.
