Plot

Documentary about the life and work of abstract artist Manuel Felguérez; one of the most important Mexican painters and sculptors of the 20th century, and a benchmark of the Generación de la Ruptura (Breakaway Generation). At 87 years-old, Felguérez is a consecrated master who creates by starting from chaos, generating random shapes and spots, to later give them order and finally turn them into art.
