Carmen Martín Gaite is an iconic figure of great importance in 20th-century Spanish literature, who skillfully cultivated all literary genres: short stories, plays, novels, essays, and poetry. She was also fond of creating collages and loved to dance. She is a role model for women of her generation and continues to be so for subsequent generations. She had a strong character, a firm personality, and a
unwavering determination, great style, and an enormous thirst for freedom.

We conceived the project as a tribute to this incredible Castilian-Leonese writer, recreating her figure and choosing different fragments from her extensive work, as if it were a small literary biography, which she herself tells us, sprinkled with the most important events of her life (her relationship with Sanchez Ferlosio, her husband, and other writers of the time), the loss of her two children, the relationship with her daughter, her refusal to be a member of the RAE...).
