El pintor de almas

$ 32.45
Barcelona, ​​1901. The city is experiencing days of great social unrest. The abject poverty of the most disadvantaged contrasts sharply with the elegant opulence of the grand avenues, where some unique buildings already stand out, symbols of the arrival of Modernism. Dalmau Sala, the son of an executed anarchist, is a young painter caught between two worlds. On one hand, his family and Emma, ​​the woman he loves, are staunch defenders of the workers' struggle; men and women who know no fear when it comes to demanding workers' rights. On the other, his work in the ceramics workshop of Don Manuel Bello, his mentor and a conservative bourgeois with unwavering Catholic beliefs, brings him closer to an environment where wealth and creative innovation reign. Thus, seduced by the tempting offers of a bourgeoisie willing to buy his work and his conscience, Dalmau will have to find his true path, as a man and as an artist, and move away from nights of wine and drugs to discover what really matters to him: his values, his essence, the love of a brave and fighting woman and, above all, those paintings that spring from his imagination and capture on a canvas the most miserable souls that wander through the streets of a city stirred by the germ of rebellion.
