History is always there, but its manuals are printed with absence, margin and, when mentioned, it’s only mediated. To integrate what is already part of it means that there is a lot of history to be told. But how and by whom? In the last Descortinar of this season, Francisco Mangas, Maria Gil and Vicente Gil follow the roads and winds of the fable of communities that, in their plurality, have yet to claim their legitimate voice. And watch out, if, in the meantime, a film about a big law firm run by Roma people comes out, you know where you heard it first.
