PLOT

According to an ancient proverb, “every dress has its reverse side.” Based on this, Bernardo Atxaga explains the origin of his texts, the underbelly of his novels and poems, in this documentary. Topics include: a passage from the life of so-called “enfant sauvage” Victor de l'Aveyron, an old photograph of the school at Asteasu and its message, the prevalent mood in Bilbao around 1970 and the influence it had on writers of the period, the literary consecuences of a man's insipid illness.
