Synopsis
An English singer-songwriter in the middle of a creative process in a recording studio. Working with the technical team to make his album Lucky Thirteen shows us the doubts, mistakes and nerves but also the perfectionism, perseverance and passion that are part of any creative adventure.
A metaphorical journey that begins indoors and, passing first by the sea and then by a modern style fountain, heads up towards a hill facing Barcelona City.
