Almudena Grandes

Waffen-SS officer Otto Skorzeny (1908-75) became famous for his participation in daring military actions during World War II. In 1947 he was judged and imprisoned, but he escaped less than a year later and found a safe haven in Spain, ruled with an iron hand by General Francisco Franco. What did he do during the many years he spent there?

Filmed over the course of 2013 to 2019, it is a photograph of the scars left by the Great Recession in Spain. Who are the losers of this crisis? Young people, women, workers between 35 and 45 who will never again be what they trained to be, those over 45 who have lost their jobs, retirees who see their purchasing power shrink, the “emotional proletariat”… and this film is about them.

An account of the life and work of the Spanish poet Luis García Montero; a journey through his experiences, his mentors, his influences and his contact with other artists, both from the literary world and from other disciplines.

The relationship of a adult man and a young girl.

In her own words, over the years, Almudena Grandes shared her way of seeing the world, understanding life, and approaching writing. But Almudena is no longer here. The aim of this film is to keep her memory alive: to celebrate her life and work without forgetting the painful void left by her passing. Luis García Montero, her husband, steps into that void and, in doing so, completes the intimate portrait of a writer who, like few others, has been able to tell the story of our lives.
