Synopsis

An exploration of the source of artistic inspiration in poets, jazz musicians, writers...From Rimbaud to Lorca, Hirsch examines the emotional power of creativity and its results, covering the creation of music and poetry in a completely original way. This power is called "duende", a Spanish word meaning roughly "dark angel", and is the force that inspires artists to create their most powerful works.
