Her experience by the side of Francesca Llopis, the protagonist of the feature, turned out to be a learning process for her: “Her creative capacity, zest for life and sensitivity are what constitute the foundations for the creation of a character propped up by this free spirit, and call into question the stereotypes of old age, which are so firmly embedded in society and in film.”

Francesca is a visual artist from Barcelona who understands life in the same way as she understands her art: from the point of view of freedom, experimentation and playfulness. When her daughter Djuna leaves home to go and live abroad, she sees herself plunged into a situation of unfamiliar and unprecedented independence, and, spurred on by her friends, she sets up a profile for herself on Tinder.

The documentary depicts an act of rebellion by a woman who does not wish to do what is expected of her in terms of her age, gender and social class, the challenge of facing up to the solitude of growing old, the healing power of art, and the kaleidoscopic nature of love.
