Synopsis

Just with his bag and a travel guitar, Francisco Nixon reflects on early success, life on the road and the artistic profession. In his thoughtsthere are reminiscences of lost friends as Sergio Algora, with whom he founded "La Costa Brava"; but also of a world that made calculations in pesetas, published fanzines and listened to cassette tapes. Francisco Nixon engages in a dialogue with people who, though sceptical, have managed to find the significance of things beyond their monetary value they can even see the link between manufacturing good oil and composing a good song. Used as we are to watching documentaries in which musicians are pictured in the limelight (post mortem success included) and massive performances, "Salir de Casa" is a the portrait of a singer in that hostile and uneasy territory of noisy bars, in a circuit that fluctuates between high spirits and dejection.
