"Major Madness" tells how many people doomed by social canon to premature aging rebel with their activity and their creations against the feeling of social isolation. Three rebels against the time set by the market laws.
Angel Marco, a valued rapporteur, author and performer of dramatic theatre and radio digs with his plays in the deepest feelings.
Paca Arceo, a renowned photographer, is witness through their images of the history and society of her time.
Manuel Alcántara, an estimated poet, who capture time with the lucidity of his words. Through their current activities (performance, photographs, poems) and their daily life today they address the conflicts that people face in this stage of life.
Three separate stories that are concatenated: "Body", Physical impairment, the interpreter; "Memory", the footprint of the journey through life photographer; and "Time", immanence in time, the poet. Three stories make up the story of a present time that was past and will be future. Life, nothing else.
