Margolaria (The Painter)
2019 · Documentary · 103 min. · Spain
This is the story of a journey. It starts one morning with the conversation via Skype that the musician Mikel Urdangarin had with the artist Alain Urrutia. The latter offered Mikel a canvas as a gift, with the condition that he would have to come and pick it up at London. With the excuse of that trip, linking together ancient Greek myths and concerts with huge audiences, we will slowly get to know the everyday life of an artist who has chosen to make a living out of his work; the alchemy of creation, the sweat of impotence, the shadow of failure, the loneliness that comes with fame. Until reaching, almost without wanting to, the key hidden in the centre of the labyrinth that is Mikel Urdangarin.
