Los Pasos Dobles plot
Los Pasos Dobles is a free cinematic interpretation of the African life of painter-adventurer François Augiéras (1925-1971). The French writer and artist Augiéras loved adventure, grand gestures and mystification. For example, he made a series of enormous frescoes in a bunker in the Malian desert, which he then deliberately had engulfed by the advancing sand dunes. Later generations had to track down the grand masterpiece - the 'Sistine Chapel of the Desert'. Miquel Barceló, one of Spain's foremost contemporary artists, is fascinated by the work and life story of Augiéras. He also often works in Mali, where he finds inspiration for his sculptures and paintings.
