PROJECT
The project presented is entitled ‘El magnolio’ (The Magnolia). It recreates a vision of Seville of the 1960s and the first student revolts. The story deals with a Greek professor who in the manner of the Presocratic masters tries to show his students the tricks played on us by a reality that is unbearable but at the same time full of hope for the birth of a new age.
The relationships between these young people in the 1970s are the basis of a novel that has as its foundation a reflection on concepts such as the State, Couples, History, and the Future.
