SYNOPSIS
The band Elèctrica Dharma turns fifty. Few bands celebrate such an anniversary—half a century of songs and a long journey, contributing melodies and songs to the soundtrack of a country. The three Fortuny brothers, Esteve, Josep, and Joan, could hardly have imagined that the band, which started as a game, would go on to live so many adventures. But what they certainly could not have imagined is that the band would outlive some of them. Misfortune has seen three of the seven Fortuny siblings pass away during these 50 years. This is their story, as well as the story of those who have survived. It’s a story of the country’s living music. And also the story of the Fortuny family, who have stood tall despite all the hardships life has thrown their way.
