Summary:
In late 1960s Barcelona, a young jeweler named Eugenio Jofra boards a regular bus and meets Conchita. What begins as a chance encounter quickly blossoms into a life-changing romance, and the two embark on an intimate, music-filled partnership. Eugenio teaches himself to play the guitar to accompany Conchita, whose concerts are often stalled by a tense stage fright that threatens to capsize their dream. This marks the birth of Els dos, a duo whose shared passion for melody and storytelling anchors their evolving career. When Conchita must leave Barcelona for two weeks, she entrusts Eugenio with the show’s reins, and upon her return, he has transformed into a genuine humor phenomenon within the city. The pair develops a distinct stage persona—the round glasses, the black shirt, the humble stool, the lingering cigarette, and the distinctive tube of glass—that becomes a surprising beacon of joy in a Spain grappling with hardship and censorship, desperately hungry for laughter. The duo begins to carve out a space for themselves, delivering jokes, timing, and warmth that resonate with audiences across a nation seeking relief. Their story is one of resilience, creative daring, and the power of performance to lift spirits even in difficult times, turning a shy guitarist into a celebrated beacon of light and laughter across Barcelona and beyond.
