In this book, José Luis Garci takes us by the hand through the history of cinema, analyzing his thirty favorite films and focusing especially on his seven 'wonders'. In addition, he presents a survey of 70 film lovers about their 30 favorite films and their personal relationship with each of them. According to E. Rodríguez Marchante, Garci is one of the few writers capable of building nostalgia with the present, talking about today as if it were the future. This is not just a book about cinema, but an experience 'during' cinema.
