AITANA

Marina is haunted by the idea of losing her memory. Her grandmother suffered memory loss and now it is also happening with her mother Aitana, daughter of the writer María Teresa León and the poet Rafael Alberti. Locked in a room which her mother has not left for some time, she insists on reliving her memories. In the silence of the night, her family’s past returns, it is the history of a country and a whole century.
