Goytisolo, géographies de l'exil

"Spaniard in Catalonia, Frenchman in Spain, Latin in South America, Christian in Morrocco, and everywhere a mongrel", this is how the novelist Juan Goytisolo defines himself. From Tangers where he wrote Don Julian , one of the most violent critiques of the Spanish nation, to Marrakech his primary residence, passing through the garment district of Paris, where he chose exile in 1957 because of his vociferous opposition to the Franco regime, to Almeria in Andalucia, this documentary aims to show the itinerary of this intransigeant exile who was also Jean Genet's literary executor. The sweatshops in the Paris garment district, the gypsy ghetto of La Chanca in Almeria, the sinuous alleys of the Medina in Tangiers or the bustling square of Jemaa el'Fna in Marrakesh: all these places are visited by Spain's literary treasure, an author who would like to have as many cities as a cat has lives.
