Ana Duato (Valencia, 1968) and Darío Grandinetti (Rosario, Argentina, 1959) arrive at the interview arguing about where they'll go for lunch. They're looking for a restaurant serving traditional Catalan cuisine – "One of those that serves fricandó and beans with butifarra," says Duato – to fully immerse themselves in Barcelona – "Although I don't know if we'll find one, given how the city has changed," laments Grandinetti. The acting couple has arrived in the Catalan capital with The music, a play by Marguerite Duras written in 1965 and conceived for English television.
