Maricarmen

Instituto Cervantes in Manchester and Leeds in partnership with IberoDocs: Ibero-American Documentary Film Festival Scotland feature the documentary Maricarmen, by Mexican director Sergio Morkin.

Maricarmen Graue (52) is a cello player; she plays with a rock band, as well as in a chamber orchestra. She is also a music teacher, a writer and a marathon runner. She lives alone and is completely blind. She copes with her condition by having a biting sense of humor and being fiercely self-demanding. Swaying between laughter and a bare-boned meditation on the act of living, the documentary navigates the labyrinths surrounding this survivor (Filmaffinity).

After the screening there will be a Q&A session in Zoom with the director Sergio Morkin and Maricarmen Graue.
