Una tarde en Toledo (otra escena de "Cherchez la cam")

The interactive KENOEFF-LZFILM-coproduction:
One late afternoon in Toledo (Another scene from CHERCHEZ LA CAM)
Toledo was for a long time the capital of the country that we call Spain nowadays. Founded by Celtiberians, Romans conquered the city and called it Toletum. Several centuries later, the Visigoths arrived and made the city to their royal court. In 711, the Moors took the city, and under their reign, it became famous because of the Toledo translation school where scientific, philosophical and religious texts in Hebrew, Greek, Latin or Arabic were translated. After the Reconquista by the Christians, the school remained in service for some time, and the city became the royal court for the kings of Castile and Leon. In 1563, the court was removed to Madrid, and the decay of this city that respires history in every corner began. You can still find a lot of Roman ruins, Moorish arches, ancient mosques and synagogues there. It is truly a city with a unique atmosphere.
The characters of CHERCHEZ LA CAM are walking through the city, apparently without any aim, and try to localize themselves on a map, but Toledo's labyrinthine lanes seem to counteract this. Ferd Geisler's lyrics give the whole scene an ironical aspect, as if there was waiting someone for these tourists who obviously don't want to go home.

Thank you very much for the permission to use your song, Ferd!

Espero que los españoles conozcan su historia o que al menos sepan inglés. No consigo traducir todo esto al castellano ahora. Eh, ¡yo no soy miembro de la escuela de traductores de Toledo!!! ;-) En cualquier duda, contáctame.

La música de Ferd me inspiró a hacer otro vídeo que está rodada en el Camino de Santiago del Sureste:

Nice collaboration!

I like this a lot!

[dolcefilm]

De acuerdo con LZ, y la elección musical!

El color de la ciudad, el tema y el personaje de barba (neo hippie)...me retrotraen a la vieja "Easy Rider"!!

Genial tarde en Toledo, no la conozco...proximo paso obligado!

saludos!

[LZFILM]

No problem, Ferd, it's great that you have been here! :-)

[KENOEFF]

Sorry, I still can`t find it.. I hope it was nothing to take offense !

[LZFILM]

Oh, I've been wrong... it's not just "yo"! :-) Well, it's nearly at the end... it was the second comment, the first one was "geil" (from FGS) ;-)

[KENOEFF]

I cannot find the comment wich you are referring to.. I gues its an exclamation of wellbeing ....

[LZFILM]

Oh, that's nice of you! What did you mean when you wrote this one year ago - doodeldeeyoodel?? :-)

[KENOEFF]

I`d give you a hand, no problem

[LZFILM]

Could someone translate this for me, please?!? ;-)

[KENOEFF]

[LZFILM]

That was our first collaboration. And since then, I wanted to go back to Toledo. It's a kind of a junction to the Camino Diaries...

Thank you for keeping on commenting!! :-)

[LZFILM]
