Synopsis
In the documentary “GTBxGTB,” the Galician writer Gonzalo Torrente Ballester speaks about his life, his work, and his intellectual, social, and political concerns. The narrative thread is shaped by the voices of the author of “Los gozos y las sombras,” along with those of the journalists who interviewed him on television over the years. “GTBxGTB” traces the childhood, youth, and maturity of the Galician writer in a biographical account interwoven with his reflections as a novelist, his beliefs about literary creation, his political attitudes, and his thoughts on concepts such as myth, power, History, Galicia, women, and death. Gonzalo Torrente Ballester answers questions from journalists Joaquín Soler Serrano, Pablo Lizcano, Fernando Sánchez Dragó, Terenci Moix, José Luis Balbín, Begoña Aranguren, and Antón López Vallejo. The documentary also recovers audio excerpts from some of his hundreds of lectures and from his work diaries, recorded on reel-to-reel tape recorders.
