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.
