Delmiro de Caralt

A portrait of the Spanish director Lorenzo Llobet Gràcia (1911-76), one of the outsiders of Spanish cinema, and the story of his masterpiece, a cult work that tells the story of a self-taught filmmaker who was born under the sign of the shadows, lights and chiaroscuro of cinema.

Ernest Sant, a depressed and introspective man, wants to kill himself. He wanders the countryside, having bizarre encounters and often provoking hazardous incidents. "Memmortigo?" is and avant-garde surreal amateur film and an absurdist treatment on pessimism (embodied by a man, clad entirely in black, who tries to commit suicide) and optimism (represented by a joyful young woman and her two children).
