When this story begins, it is toward the end of the life of Spain's great painter, Francisco de Goya, when he was living in France having left Spain because of turmoil at home. Now Goya (Jose Coronado) reminisces with his daughter, Rosario (Dafne Fernandez), about his life, deafness, and art. Although not a great movie, this film succeeds as a very good study of Goya.
