La calle del Agua

La calle del Agua Sara Rego

In 2021, Celia Viada burst onto the Spanish film scene with her debut feature film, winning several awards that recognized its value. La calle del Agua is a ghost film: a dialogue through the mists of time in which the Madrid-born director converses with Benjamina Miyar (1888-1961), a resident of the Asturian village of Corao, watchmaker, pioneering photographer, and anti-Franco resistance fighter: a woman of enormous worth who, like so many others, has been silenced and forgotten. 


Synopsis: Benjamina Miyar led an unusual life in her house on Calle del Agua, at the foot of the Picos de Europa. A photographer and watchmaker for more than 40 years, she was also part of the anti-Franco resistance. Her life and work disappeared after her death. Calle del Agua is the encounter between two women who share a place in different times, the sketch of a portrait that emerges from what is remembered and what has faded away.
