Ocana, retrato intermitente

This film shows how great the urge for freedom and how colourful cultural life was in Barcelona in the late 1970s: on the one hand, a portrait of the painter and LGBT activist José Pérez Ocaña, who talks about his life and his inspirations - on the other, a document of the Rambla at the beginning of the Transiciòn, when homosexuals, drags and other marginalized groups that were tabooed and suppressed by the dictatorship came into the public eye.
