The writer María Luisa Elío returned to Spain in 1970 after three decades of exile in Mexico. She wanted to reconnect with a past that perhaps no longer existed. Through ten short stories, this film explores the life of a woman who was part of the most important avant-garde artistic movements of the mid-20th century and who wrote, acted in, and filmed "On the Empty Balcony," an experimental film about her own wounds.
