The life of Pedro Manrique Figueroa not is written by anyone because of a very powerful reason: too much like an adventure novel, both incomplete and contradictory, always linked to the sparkling tradition uncertainties oral. Using as a pretext the life and work of Manrique Figueroa, the film takes us through history from 1934-1981, the year of the mysterious disappearance of the artist. In the manner of a collage, A Paper Tiger juxtaposes the art and politics, truth with falsehood, documentary with fiction.
