Three studies on Galicia (Carlos Velo, 1935), built from reels rediscovered in 2010 containing previously unseen footage. As Nuria Cubas notes, the film renews the spirit of the Misiones Pedagógicas: where authorship once dissolved into anonymity, here it multiplies through a shared purpose, becoming an act of fidelity to Galician land and to the images themselves — a raw, essential testimony finally recovered.

The films are a critical view of the social, economic, political, cultural and employment situation in Galicia. They have been made through the voluntary work of all the participants, including actors and actresses such as Luis Tosar and Mabel Ribera. People who have something to tell, and have chosen the screen as their medium.

A portrait of Santa Mariña do Monte, this well organized parish where water overflows and disappears, where the Virgin of Hope has a double in the chapel that does not resemble her, where there were parties, there was death and there are offerings. A place that looks at us with the limpid eyes of a cow.
