Two Spanish legends, one tour bus, zero egos — just pure poetry and chaos.
Joan Manuel Serrat fled to Mexico when Franco ordered his persecution. In Argentina and Chile, his commitment against military regimes is still remembered. Joaquín Sabina arrived later. His poetry bewitched the audience. In Argentina, he is a tango singer as much as a rocker; in Mexico, the mariachis sing their songs. The former is a symbol, a venerated figure; the latter is a “cuate,” as they say in Mexico, a buddy with whom you can always count.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Sabina suffered a stroke in 2017 that temporarily left him unable to speak — making this film's capture of his verbal pyrotechnics even more precious.
Serrat's 1975 exile to Mexico turned 'Mediterráneo' into an anthem for displaced Spaniards; the film never mentions that Franco died the same year the documentary was shot.
