MUYERES

Marta Lallana

Spain

- 2023

In the middle of the Asturian mountains is a place where time stands still poised between the real and the fantastic, inhabited by women who preserve old songs, masked monsters that dance under the moon and numerous legends that are told around the fire. A well-known musician (Raül Refree) decides to leave everything behind and travel there to record all this legacy before it becomes extinct.
