Synopsis

Inside Buñuels head is a film. Its the film he could have made about his University years and his relationship with Dalí and Lorca. But, as Buñuel pictures this film, we realize this is not a biopic but an Adventure. What hides behind King Solomons Table? Why is it hidden in Toledo?.

Carlos Saura, in wanting to pay tribute to his friend and fellow countryman, the renowned Aragon filmaker Luis Buñuel, has given him the best gift a director can offer; his own work, a fiction film in which Buñuel plays the starring role.
