Between 1992 and 1996, El Puerto de Santa María was the epicentre of indie rock thanks to Maddening Flames. With only two albums (Wanderlust and Six Ways to Sunday), which have nothing to envy to Sebadoh or Dinosaur Jr., they became a cult band whose history is captured in this documentary authored by one of its members, José María Millán "Borry", who, together with the brothers Juan Luis and Manuel González and the privileged voice of Muni Camón, founded the band. Archival materials of all kinds together with testimonies from figures such as Jesús Ordovás, Blas Fernández, Julio Ruiz, Paco Loco and Fran Nixon make up this documentary that has managed to reignite the group's flame.
