DocumentaMadrid
XV Festival Internacional de Cine Documental
Synopsis
A film about missing images: those of one of the least known uprisings in the history of Spain, the bread riot, led by women in the city of Córdoba in May 1652, protest in the early stages of capitalism. Faced with nonexistent recordings, Monsell explores the stories, spaces in the present day that hold traces of a past and, most of all, the faces. It is in the faces of women today looking to the women of yesteryear for new visions that one might find a continuity of resistance. (LS)
