Synopsis Castilla mal
How is the link with the place of origin when the need to thrive forces you to leave it? Leave because the future is outside. Leave to find root. Leave to be able to be. Castilla mal is the experience of a double tear: that of depopulation and that of one's own identity.
Sara Rivero is especially known as an actress in TV series. In the theater, she has worked as an actress and playwright, and in cinema highlights her participation in Lo siento mi amor and Lope Enamorado. Sara Rivero currently investigates the limits and coexistence between the audiovisual and the performative.
