Marisa Paredes visited this festival in 2012, captivating us with her deep, velvety voice and graceful presence—qualities reminiscent of the classical film stars glamour. Best known for her collaborations with Pedro Almodóvar, her long career extends far beyond their celebrated films.
To honor this extraordinary actress, shortly after her death, we present one of her most powerful performances: Leo, the troubled writer in The Flower of My Secret, who navigates personal and professional crises with weary resilience and undeniable strength.
