It has been 150 years since the birth of Manuel Machado. Overshadowed by his brother Antonio, just a year younger but remarkably prolific and talented, Manuel was one of the most important Andalusian poets and playwrights of the Generation of ’98. This made him both a participant in and a witness to the Silver Age of Spanish literature, but he would later suffer through one of the country's darkest chapters: the Civil War. This painful event physically separated him from his family and led him to make decisions that aligned him (perhaps out of necessity) with the winning side of the conflict, yet also with the "losers" of literature. This documentary seeks to restore the legacy of a poet with a deeply popular touch and an aesthetic rooted in Andalusian heritage, questioning the supposed rivalry between the two writer brothers.
