About the event

Synopsis

In 1970, the writer María Luisa Elío returned to Spain after three decades of exile in Mexico. She wanted to reconnect with a past that perhaps no longer existed. The director of this documentary explores, through 10 small stories, the loose pieces of the life of this woman who was part of the most important artistic avant-gardes of the mid-20th century, and who wrote, acted in, and filmed En el Balcón Vacío, a film in which she explored her own wound as an exile.
