    • Synopsis
    • Luthiers proposes a journey through the lives of eight musical instrument manufacturers around the world, immersing ourselves in the different cultures, musical roots and passions of these creators who have worked with artists such as Mark Knopfler, Leonard Cohen, Paco de Lucía, Lenny Kravitz, Cat Stevens and David Byrne among others.

      Life stories that range from the craftsman who repairs three hundred years old instruments valued at millions of dollars to creators who make their craft work a conservation art and, at the same time, a constant innovation in search for new sound textures.
      Despite this wide variety of trajectories, they all have a defining characteristic: the passion for their work and their love for music.

      Luthiers is, in short, an exciting journey through the lives of these artists and through what distinguishes us as human beings: the ability to create.
