Enrique Morente's three sons tell the story of their father: the most revolutionary flamenco in history. Despite criticism from purists, he opened cante jondo to cultured poetry, brought it closer to young university students, explored its Arab roots and paired it with rock and other contemporary sounds. Much of the Spanish music of the last decades is heir to his findings.

In this documentary, Lagartija Nick transports us to a surreal and innovative place, taking us on a journey through their concept albums inspired by the historical avant-garde movements of the 20th century. Through 16mm films, poetry, and, of course, the most rocking and innovative music of recent years, Generación Lagartija introduces us not only to its members, but also to beloved figures such as García Lorca, Val del Omar, and Luis Buñuel.
