SINOPSIS
De un ejemplar padre de familia enamorado de una cabra a un genio del cine en decadencia que se alimenta de sus recuerdos. Josep Maria Pou experimenta esta metamorfosis cuando muda la piel de su personaje en La cabra al de Orson Welles, protagonista de su siguiente proyecto teatral. Para cualquier actor, ese es un trabajo habitualmente íntimo y solitario. Máscaras desvela sus secretos.
Actors, like magicians, don’t reveal the tricks of their trade. Josep Maria Pou makes an exception and allows the cameras to film him preparing his role as Orson Welles in a theatre play. Masks takes us backstage where we see the actor conjure up his character. Pure magic.

The cinema hasn’t met before such a complete dissection about the actor’s work with his character (…) There’s something in ‘Masks’ that we hadn’t seen on cinema before: the theater as a way of life”
