Antonio Vega. Tu voz entre Otras Mil

Paloma Concejero
124' / 2013 / Spain
Spanish
English subtitled

Antonio Vega's own voice will, finally, reveal unknown aspects of him that we have never heard about before. Over a period of four years in the presence of the writer Bosco Ussía and his recorder, the musician recounted impressions, moments from his biography, nostalgic memories and express wishes that can be heard, for the first time, exactly as they happened.
Antonio's voice will also journey through testimonies from his circle of nearest and dearest: his mother and brothers and sisters, his ex-wife. His other family, as he liked to call them: his band and a small group of friends; the mother of his beloved Marga, the old members of Nacha Pop and other people that were dear to him, will help to show us much more than the typical tortured picture that the media insisted on so frequently, and about which he used to make ironic jokes, in private, with a sense of humour that many will find unusual. 
A musical work smattered with photos and unreleased Super8 film recordings, interviews that have never been seen, graphic documents, manuscripts and drawings which will be seen for the first time in this documentary. But we will also return to the places that marked his life and inspired a large number of his songs. Metaphorical sequences, in video clips, that are loyal to his dreamer spirit and allow us to enjoy his songs, yet again.
