Almudena

Almudena

Sinopsis

In her own words, over the years, Almudena Grandes tells her way of seeing the world, of understanding life and 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 death. Luis García Montero, her husband, enters that void and in doing so completes the intimate portrait of a writer who has been able to tell us about our life.
