Volver a casa tan tarde

In 1970, the writer María Luisa Elío returned to Spain after three decades of exile in Mexico. She wanted to rediscover a past that might no longer exist. The director of this documentary explores, through 10 little stories, the separate pieces making up the life of this woman who was part of the most important artistic avant-gardes in the mid-20th century, and who wrote, appeared in and filmed “En el Balcón Vacío” [On the Empty Balcony], a film in which she explored her own wound as an exile.
