Little Ashes is a true story about one of the greatest artists that lived in the 20th Century, painter, photographer, sculptor, and writer Salvador Dali.
The film takes you back to a young Salvador Dali back in the 1920's - 1930's when Dali met poet Federico Garcia Lorca, who tried to have a homosexual relationship with Dali.
While studying in The Residencia de Estudiantes (Students Residence), which was a modern and influential cultural centre in Madrid, especially in the 20's and during the Spanish Civil War in 1936, Dali, Lorca and film maker Bunuel formed an artistic group.
Salvador Dali moved to Paris where high society and a decadent lifestyle ensues and Dali becomes involved with a married woman known as Gala (who he later marries), when Lorca visits Dali in Paris he finds Dali has a different and changed outlook to life.
