This is a tribute documentary film to Federico García Lorca, Spanish poet and Universal writer. It is directly inspired by his life and works. The real voice of the poet is the conducting thread this film. His characters come to life: “El Amargo”, from a poem of “El Cante Jondo” to the “Romancero Gitano”. “The woman” a fading presence that can be traced in many of his poems. “The mother” a real synthesis of his dramaturgy. The balcony is open from the remote and hidden Granada
to the thrilling New York. From the unstoppable horseman to the mysterious and baroque Easter celebrations. From his first steps in life until his final and violent death. Spain is behind it all.
“El balcón abierto” es una película de homenaje al poeta español Federico García Lorca. La película surge y alienta de su vida. A partir de su vida, de sus textos,la voz del propio poeta va hilvanando la trama del film. Sus personajes cobran vida: “El Amargo”, que transcurre desde un poema del Cante Jondo, hasta el Romancero Gitano. “La Mujer”, difuminada y presente en tantos de sus poemas. “La Madre”, síntesis vida de su dramaturgia. El balcón está abierto desde la recóndita Granada al excitante Nueva York. Desde el jinete de incansable cabalgadura hasta el misterioso barroco de la Semana Santa. Desde los primeros balbuceos del poeta, hasta su muerte violenta. España está detrás de su lírica.
