A Free Man

Laura Hojman
Documentary : 88’ / Art & Artists, Homophobia, Gay, Politics, Portrait

“A Free Man” explores the life and work of Agustín Gómez Arcos, the exiled Spanish writer who achieved great success in French literature in the 1970s, while his name remained silenced in Spain. A six-time finalist for the Goncourt Prize, his works —translated into more than twelve languages— addressed themes such as democratic memory and identity. Rediscovered by new generations, his legacy invites us to reflect on the recent history of Spain through the unspoken, the lost stories, and the role of culture and memory.
