From their collaboration in the novel 'Learning to Lose', where Josep Santilari's painting was the cover image in the book, the filmmaker and writer David Trueba decided to continue the process of creating a painting. For this he visited the studio of the twin brothers Josep and Pere Santilari and filmed, with total precision, his technique and endeavored work, from the conception of the original idea of the painting to his completion. We assist in this documentary to a process full of love for the work, knowledge and effort, where we perceive painting as a clean implementation, avoiding false mythomania and transcendent poetry. Josep Santilari and David Trueba offer a trip to the internals of a painting, from the careful detail to the light and determined work of a gifted painter.
