Everyone remembers an actress as they want. Or how she can. Or as she wishes. Despite the little that she has lavished on film and television, Antonia San Juan (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 1961) He counts his papers by authentic events. In Everything about my mother, by Pedro Almodóvar, embodied Agrado (“One is authentic when it most resembles what she has dreamed of herself,” she said) and her life, and perhaps that of many others, changed forever. Much later, in The one that is coming, her character as Estela Reynolds made her a phenomenon of mass consumption. In between, theater, monologues and a new generation of directors (Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia, the person in charge of The hole, among them) raised her to the status of icon. As it is. Now it appears just a few minutes in Liubena Spanish-Bulgarian co-production signed by Venci Kostov around with identity, motherhood, emigration and even patriarchy. She returns to the cinema and does so while preparing her imminent return to the stage of the Teatro Pavón in Madrid with Interview with my daughter Mari.
