Summary:

"Si estas memorias resultan singulares es porque las escritas por directores de cine escasean en todo el mundo. Pero también son peculiares porque Alfonso Ungría lo es dentro de su oficio. Un autor cuya obra muchos celebran como "coherente", quizá porque ha conservado siempre la libertad artística frente a las habituales normas comerciales. Son además un claro testimonio, que el autor relata como protagonista y como testigo, de dos etapas significativas: el franquismo y la larga Transición, mostrando las sucesivas transformaciones del cine español, su financiación, el papel de sus productores y de las "majors" USA, las leyes ministeriales, los festivales, TVE, etc. Unos cambios vividos a través de una filmografía construida tras muchas batallas y fracasos. Y es que, a menudo, las peripecias para conseguir hacer un film o salvarlo de recortes o censura son el relato de una aventura, repleta de suspense e incidentes, que nos fascina a todos (seamos cineastas o espectadores)." -- Contraportada.

"If these memoirs are unique, it is because those written by film directors are scarce throughout the world. But they are also peculiar because Alfonso Ungría is peculiar within his profession. An author whose work many celebrate as "coherent", perhaps because he has always preserved artistic freedom against the usual commercial norms. They are also a clear testimony, which the author relates as a protagonist and as a witness, of two significant stages: the Franco regime and the long Transition, showing the successive transformations of Spanish cinema, its financing, the role of its producers and the "majors" USA, ministerial laws, festivals, TVE, etc. Some changes experienced through a filmography built after many battles and failures. And often, the adventures of getting a film made or saving it from cuts or censorship are the story of an adventure, full of suspense and incidents, that fascinates us all (whether we are filmmakers or viewers)." -- Back cover.
