A flamboyant ghost haunts Franco's Spain in sequins and defiance.
A portrait of the Spanish painter José Pérez Ocaña (1947-83), who used transvestism and performances as his calling card.
Acting
Albert Giner channels Ocaña's mercurial presence with uncanny possession.
Production
Archival footage that feels stolen from another dimension of desire.
Director
Pilar Granero
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Ocaña was a fixture of La Rambla in the 1970s, turning the street into his stage years before queer performance art had a name in Spain.
Director Pilar Granero spent over a decade collecting materials; much of this footage was deteriorating in private hands and would have been lost.
