Nazario, founder of the Spanish underground comics movement and pioneer of the gay graphic novel, is looking back on his eventful life, as well as on his flamboyant and explicit works. The 16 mm films, photos, illustrations, and paintings document the spirit of departure of a counter culture, but also recount Nazario's great love for Alejandro, with whom he was together until the latter's death. Profession and passion merge in this artist.
