Fashion’s own enfant terrible, the tailor of metallurgy, the writer with visions of the end of the world… This documentary lets us into the labyrinth of the mind of the last great revolutionary of haute couture, from his childhood as a child of two wars to his last interview as a recluse fugitive from his own fame. A journey through three hectic decades of breaking social barriers reflected in the mirror of Paco Rabanne’s fashion.

Seeking her roots, 29-year-old Soumaya travels to Algeria, filming her quest to understand the past her mother left behind. Through family archives and intimate conversations, she confronts her identity and traditions. What begins as a personal search becomes a poignant look at exile, family bonds, and three generations of women striving for connection across distance and belief.

Miquelina, Josep, and later their son Pattet film their lives between 1942 and 1999, with no other purpose than to create future memories. Unknowingly, they capture the essence of the 20th century: everyday life shaped by Francoism, a camera that changes hands, a dictatorship transforming into a democracy, and images filled with aspirations, contradictions, and dreams of change.

Seven siblings isolated themselves at the beginning of the past century at the foot of Europe's largest glacier. They explored and worshipped it before anyone talked about the melt. Their farm is now an empty skeleton. But their voice will echo again like a litany, like a warning. On the wall, the image of a 'pietà', with the great white shroud twisted over the corpse of the dying son.
