SYNOPSIS Manuel Alcántara. A Life in 15 Rounds, is a collective portrait of the poet and journalist who turned everyday life into literature. Through fifteen stages narrated by friends, writers, chroniclers, and his own voice, it traces his childhood, Madrid bohemia, journalism, boxing, and his return to the sea of Málaga. An intimate tribute to freedom, the well-chosen word, and the deep gaze of a man who lived without haste.
