Jesus Quintero one of this country’s great communicators, a master of interviews And is still the standard for many communicators. With his own style, personality and disruption, he influenced the Spanish media for three decades, until one day he himself became disillusioned with this new media reality to which he did not know or did not want to adapt.
But the documentary does not focus solely on analyzing his professional career and his relationship with the media. “Crazy” too he portrays Quintero himself, the man who is swallowed by the character.
To the snob Quintero, who hid with his clothes that he could not stand the passage of time. A man fascinated by women. To the father who fell into ecstasy looking at his daughters, his little girls; but for whom, however, fatherhood sometimes seemed difficult. A lover of his land who had a spotlight on his roof to illuminate the Giralda in case it went out. And a madman who struggled with his weaknesses.
