After much research, we came to the conclusion that it was virtually impossible to come up with a documentary of that sort because of the lack of historical information. At this point, we decided to make up the background information needed for the reconstruction of a biographical portrait. Our conjectural results are based, at all times, on real events or, at least, on feasible events. It is not simply a matter of describing the events and important dates of Gaudí's life and career, but of getting a feel for the period through unearthed images found among the rubble after the Spanish Civil War. -- Digitalia Film Library website
