José Luis López Vázquez, one of the best actors of all time, exudes amazing talent. As his professional success and his popularity grow, his perfectionism and workaholism damage his personal life.

A sincere story, told by friends, colleagues and family, that reveals the most intimate aspects of an integral figure and an essential artist in the history of Spanish cinema.
