7.7In 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.
