La importancia de llamarse Ernesto y la gilipollez de llamarse Eric(2023)

La importancia de llamarse Ernesto y la gilipollez de llamarse Eric is a Spanish documentary that traces the life of a Granada-born drummer whose journey spans decades of struggle and survival. Born into the Falange, he discovered music through Holy Week processions and the rhythms that shaped his childhood. By sixteen, he was already performing, but addiction soon became his escape from a harsh reality he was never expected to survive past thirty. For four decades, the drummer has pounded his kit with the same intensity that life has battered him, transforming personal trauma into raw artistic expression. The film captures a portrait of resilience through music, set against the backdrop of modern Spain.
