Santiago Rusiñol was a well-known Catalan intellectual and bohemian, considered the father of Modernism. While in his study-museum painting a canvas called Morphine, to which he was addicted, he suffers a series of hallucinations that are the basis of scathing criticism of present-day Catalonia in contrast with the cultivated, cosmopolitan and civilized Catalonia he represented. But, is this the real Rusiñol? Or is this an unstable worker who thinks he is this character y refuses to change despite the insistence of new heroes and revolutionary myths? In any case, this is the cruel present-day reality face to face with what this society was in the past.
