Storyline

A surreal comedy docu-drama looking at the life and work of Spanish painter and film-maker Salvador Dali. Set in a boxing gym, it tells in a theatrical way, how his odd family (including his dead brother) helped shape the young man into becoming arguably the twentieth century's greatest painter. With reverential references to his and Bunuel's groundbreaking film 'Un Chien Andalou', and his collaboration with Hitchcock on 'Spellbound', its aim is to remind us how much Dali has influenced the way we look at this weird world we live in.
