Arles Schmerzhaft is a poem about the city where José Guirao was born, through a self-portrait he did-by-shooting what is referring to his own memories : both far and close. The heat of Arles on a hot summer, antique catalogue, stones damaged by the wind and faces of old women and people in the crowd of the amphitheater are contrasting with the black bull ' s painful death during the stierkampf. All these images are becoming the light, and beauty of the film, which is an ode to a place that will always stay in Guirao' ' s soul.
