Project

During my residence at faberllull, I would like Faber's tutors to help us build the basic structure and the outline of the film, which spans almost 40 years of her life, without being episodic.

Based on a true story. Summer, 1904. Lídia, an illiterate fishmonger and daughter of the last witch in Cadaqués, falls madly in love with the young Barcelona writer Eugeni d’Ors. When he leaves, her obsession becomes delusional, to the point that she thinks she is La Ben Plantada, the protagonist of one of the author's works. And while longing for a reunion that doesn't happen, she becomes the muse of Dalí and Lorca.
