Los Pasos Dobles [DVD]

Disc 1: The Double Steps . The best way to flee from your pursuers without leaving a trace is to walk backwards, in your own footprints. That's what François Augiéras believed, who covered a military bunker in the desert with paint, and then let it sink into the sand so that no one would find it until the 21st century. But who is Augiéras? Legionnaire, painter, writer, gunfighter, saint, thief, devil or a mixture of all of these?

Disc 2: El Cuaderno De Barro is a documentary by Isaki Lacuesta conceived in collaboration with the painter Miquel Barceló. The Spanish artist has been living long periods in Africa for more than twenty years. There he learned to paint among termites and scorpions, before the heat dried the paint and the wind dragged the canvases. At the top of the Bandiagara cliff, Barceló represents the Paso Doble performance together with the choreographer Josef Nadj and reveals to us for the first time the secrets of his African workshop.
