The first feature-length documentary in the history of cinema accompanied by a soundtrack created specifically for an ensemble of three improvisers by composer Josep Lluís Galiana. The score, timeline, marks the most important sequences and scenes, assigning specific sounds, timbres, and parameters to the different characters.
The unity of the work lies in this identification and in certain motifs that are repeated throughout the “improcomposition” or “comprovisation.”
