Circumstances surrounding the tragic death of famed Spanish poet and playwright Federico Garcia Lorca (1898-1936) emerge in counterpoint with the current life of a homosexual stage-magician. Jose (Hector Alterio) was making love to the poet's brother in the Garcia Lorca family garden in 1936 when the poet was killed. Jose and Federico's brother witnessed the whole thing. In the present, he meets another man who had been the brother's lover, and more details emerge. Meanwhile, he has a lovely old apartment in Madrid, a new lover, and a cozy relationship with a widow and her teenaged son. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
