Died during his French exile in 1828, his body was buried in the local cemetery of Bordeaux. Nobody from Spain, not even his family, claimed his body. Decades passed until the Spanish Consul in Bordeaux found by chance the tomb of the artist turned into ruin. After years of paperwork, the consul finally obtained permission to exhume the body and move it back to Spain. But when opening the tombstone, the surprise of everyone present was huge: Goya's head had disappeared. In words of the director: "It is a thriller with postcards, a puzzle of photographs, places, testimonies, police reports and paintings, in a documentary of creation dyed by the police genre".
