La Letra Azul

Benjamina Miyar Díaz (1888-1961) led an unusual life in her house on calle del Agua in Corao, Asturias, at the foot of the Picos de Europa mountain range in northern Spain: she was a photographer and watchmaker for more than forty years, but she also fought in her own humble and heroic way against General Franco's dictatorship.

She has a crooked back, strong hands, black nails. Gregoria lives bent down to the ground. Once a week she carries kilos of fruit and vegetables to feed the city. Her words echo the ancestral mischievousness of someone who needs very little: a piece of land, a few recycled plastic boxes and a friendly conversation at the end of the day. This film is for all the gregorias who manage to live as they please.
