Sinopsis
Fiction. Violeta is in her early twenties and she is doomed to spend the summer in Madrid, working as an intern in a publishing house. For a few weeks, she will make new friends, and she will take decisions, some good and some bad. But above all, she will learn that failure is more like an art form, and not merely a dramatic event.
Mamen Díaz, born in Pulpí (Almería), graduated in Audiovisual Communication at the Universidad Complutense. She lives in Madrid and her professional career has taken her to film and TV production, to audiovisual filmmaking and editing.

She recently turned 36 years old, she still has an untamable crop of hair, and she has directed her first feature film, Violeta no coge el ascensor, selected at the European Film Festival of Seville.
