Las flores no quieren viento

The gestures of these old Cordovan yard caretakers come from a transmission of feminine wisdom in working with plants that refers even to the oldest mythologies. When the cinema began, the Andalusian feminine also incorporated in its young actresses the relationship with patios and flowers as a context of the archetype. An exercise in viewing between the gestures and the times of a southern female figuration.
