Once Upon an Artist is a documentary series that narrates the experiences of the artists from a philosophical and poetic standpoint. Each chapter is an interpretation of their work from a unique and different approach. We use the visual metaphor as a tool to reinterpret what our artists tell us about their work. All this happens while their work is still in progress.

In Chapter Two, the writer David Pascual (AKA Mr Perfumme) tells us his methods and tricks while writing his last novel, “Una pequeña llama en mitad de un terrible incendio” (“A little flame in the middle of a terrible fire”). We follow him throughout his inspirational journey.
