The film traces an inimitable career, from his beginnings in Barcelona, quietly rebelling against the backdrop of the dictatorship, and his collaborations with Salvador Dalí, to his interventions in the Palau de la Musica Catalana or the unique Toledo metro station in Naples. If this is not enough, the film is filled with reflections and conversations on art with friends like Miquel Barceló, Albert Serra, Mario Vargas Llosa or Julia de Castro.

Diego Velásquez, painter of kings and commoners, master of the off-frame and mise-en-abyme, stands at the heart of a cinematic journey that challenges conventions. From the hypnotic depth of Las Meninas to the dizzying layers of meaning in The Spinners, The Vélasquez Mystery seeks to unravel a troubling question: how does this artist, admired by geniuses such as Manet and Dalí, remain so often on the margins of collective memory? Guided by the symbolic thread of water, a metaphor for movement and reflection, the film traverses centuries and continents, boldly blending historical narratives, contemporary interpretations, and reflections on the universal legacy of an unmatched master.
