Let’s Go, Barbara!

[desconocido]

It is not easy to avoid the label of pioneer when talking about Cecilia Bartolomé. Her career is full of those firsts that mark history, from her short film "Margarita y el Lobo" (1968), where she introduced a reference to lesbianism without negative nuances in Franco's audiovisual system; to the mid-nineties, with “Lejos de África” (1996), in which she dared to talk about Spain's colonial heritage in Equatorial Guinea based on her personal memories. Who else but her could have made a feminist plea like “Vámonos, Bárbara” (Let's go, Barbara) in 1978?

Synopsis: Ana, daughter of a bourgeois family, decides to separate from her husband, with whom she barely has any relationship because he is always abroad. Ana works in an advertising agency and wants to change her life. Her mother criticizes her because, according to her, Ana does everything late and badly. She takes her suitcases and her daughter Barbara, twelve years old, and goes on vacation with the intention of leaving the past behind and lead a freer, less conventional and unattached life.
